Norfolk – Lynford Arboretum – 1st January 2010

“Get stuck in and out there” is my motto when doing yearly bird counts! So without further ado and at the risk of sliding off some East Anglian roads our first stop of the year, as the sun rose, was Lynford.
We were not disappointed; on the water there were five or six Mergansers plus Graylag and Canada Geese. In the trees leading down to the water, we saw a flock of twenty plus Crossbill, five plus Siskin, Treecreeper, Willow Tit, Coal Tit and Firecrest. Then in the lower bushes in the arboretum plenty of Redwings.
