Girton in the cold

A visit this morning to Girton Pits didn't produce much of note - duck numbers were fairly unremarkable, and there was nothing to get too excited about; I was hoping for a sawbill (ideally a Smew, but a Goosander would've done), but no such luck. However, there were a few Snipe around, and a party of c.20 Lesser Redpolls was feeding in alders next to the A1133 Pit, whilst a few fly-over Linnets were a belated yeartick. Nearby, a quick look at the southern end of The Fleet at Besthorpe added one new species for my Patchwork Challenge list - Moorhen!
