Canons Farm, 1st January 2017

A productive first day of the year at the patch, where I teamed up with Paul G and Ian M, was headlined by three adult Great Black-backed Gulls (perhaps a site record?). A Lesser Redpoll was also nice and a fly-over Grey Heron was the first I'd seen there in a while. It was also encouraging to see the Yellowhammer count rise, as it often does at this stage in winter, to 21.
