Lade Pits

Lade Pits - Cold, sunny start, rain later, nw2 -  A couple of visits to the local patch either end of the day. On south pit a single `redhead` Smew and 15 Goldeneyes, plus another six on north pit. Reed Bunting, Chiffchaff and Skylark of note and a pair of Oystercatchers prospecting for a nest site on the scaffold island.
