Saw a female Bullfinch at East Marsh this morning (24 Nov 2011) which together with hearing one call in three places last week and seeing two males earlier in the month leads me to think there may be three Bullfinch wintering on the Marshes - always difficult to see though. Saw Water Rail just north of Green Bridge as well as two Little Grebes there, which together with the four Little Grebes on the Navigation itself made a total of six. 22 Fieldfare up from Stonebridge Wood and then off West calling. Kingfisher on the concrete at Pymmes Brook at Clendish marsh and one (a second?) on the concrete edge of channel north of East Bridge late. Only one calling Chiffchaff, although there may be more south of Clendish Marsh, a favourite habitat for them and a part of the Marshes that I only visit on survey days. Last Friday Terry and I saw a Snipe feeding in the channel north of the East Bridge, my first Snipe on the Marshes this year.
