Maple Lodge morning

Arrived around 11.00 after taking the dog out,met Joe Crump at the Club house ,so we decided to walk to the Rotunda a few teal were present but it was generally quiet,so we moved on to the Alder plantation where siskins were feeding at close quarters,after a while my hands were cold and aching trying to photograph these delightful birds,so on to the paddock here in bright sunshine catkins made a nice backdrop a little further on from the hide a dozen wigeon obliged and further up Long Hedge 50 Canadas and 2 Egyptians were at some distance.
Returning to the club house a pair of Ring necked parakeets clung to a feeder before Joe and I departed.
