Highlights from Weald CP today: Woodcock, drake Teal, 6 Shoveler, Kingfisher, Grey Wag, Linnet, Siskin.
They've installed a couple of platforms onto the lake, I might've preferred if the money was spent removing fishing tackle from the trees, but still a nice spot to stand.

Unfortunately, also had to see an angler hook an immature Swan. Looked like he was able to remove the hook but also seemed to end up just leaving some of the line in the water.
