Wilstone on a miserable morning.

Quick walk to the hide at Wilstone before going into town to do some xmas shopping and see Ratatouille.
Had to walk into the wind a rain to get to the hide, water was choppy, saw Redwing. Spend about an hour in the hide before returning, the usual suspects were about: Wigeon, Tufted, Black-headed (starting to get black heads!), also some smaller than Wigeon ducks that I coukld not figure out.
Over on the far bank Canada Geese and a Jay.

Another Yellow Browed Warbler

Got up early (06:00) for the Migration watch walk at Minsmere. Saw lots of birds flying in from the sea until the sun came up then they stopped. Down beyond the sluice we saw a Yellow Browwed Warbler, again, (as Forrest would say!)
