Thornton Res and Brown's Wood - Sunday

Two Ruddy Duck (another shameful Thornton tick) on Sunday plus a female Shoveler. A fair few Wigeon and Gadwall to boot. Water level is pretty high presently so consequently no Water Rail on show. Brown's Wood was painfully quiet (and very wet) but a bonus was Willow Tit on the way back to the reservoir. Small Siskin group near the churchyard also.
