Grey Wagtail at Herriots Bridge, Chew Valley Lake #Somerset. There were several of these along the shoreline. Several of them appeared to be engaging in territorial battles

The path to further along the sea wall is currently closed whilst they place some large rocks in front of the wall to protect it from erosion. The closure means Kingston Pill inlet and Dowlais Pool(*) can't be viewed (*is it a pool yet after it dried up over the summer?!)

Along Clevedon Sea Wall lots of birds were seen in the distance - low tide makes them harder to see!
Did see a flock of around 250+ Dunlin, maybe 25 Ringed Plover, several Curlew, and a Stonechat in a bush.

a low tide at Clevedon Harbour this afternoon and lovely low wintery light. Nice to see a Curlew and few Redshank in between the moored boats.

My Robin friend Little Mate today. The weather is starting to turn a bit colder, so his feathers are more fluffed-up than they have been for a while. In #Bath #Somerset #UK.

A chilly couple of hours at Chew Valley Lake this morning but beautiful in the sun. A Peregrine put on a great performance from Stratford Hide and an Otter took a casual stroll. Whoopers still at Herons G Bay, lovely to hear them call to each other. #bristolbirding #ukbirding

No photos from me but a potential odd sighting:
A bird landed/took off from South Pool field. Merlin IDed it as a Redpoll, but couldn't be 100% sure by sight. Odd flight pattern, blackish underside. Not like Meadow Pipits which were also about.

First properly cold day of the season. Good to see the water levels much higher after all the rain at last. Mostly wigeon today, with some lapwing, a little egret, and a heron hiding from the bitterly cold #PWNR #AvonBirds

Also heard, and maybe saw a Water Rail running around in a dark overgrown ditch (but could just have been a young Moorhen). Again can't confirm 100%.
