Walmsley

28th January
Spent a few hours at Walmsley CBWPS near Wadebridge , the weather was not to bad for a change with some long periods of sunshine, Many of the birds were  fairly distant but still always something to look at , and the best bird here was a Spoonbill which was easy to pick out. Lots of wildfowl present including Gadwall.Shoveller,Wigeon,Mallard Tufted Duck, Pintail and Teal ( but no sign of the Green Winged Teal which has been around recently). Also a few waders, Curlew, Lapwing and a Ruff dropped in. I was able to get a few  record shots.
