Webs count at Pickering Park in January

Sunday is my Wetland Bird Survey count for Pickering Park. I'm hoping for a few new birds for the year too. I try to get there before dog walkers and football matches disturb the birds. The sunrise as I walk along Spring Bank West is spectacular.

Sunrise looking across Walton St. towards the stadium.
Woodpigeon.
Goosander (47)

Treecreeper (48) is my highlight of the day, a species that is hard to find in Hull.

Great Tit.

I also add Great Spotted Woodpecker (49) and Mute Swan (50). The lake is 80% covered on ice, that means I miss on Tufted Duck and possibly Pochard.

A Coal Tit on the way back, but no Siskins.
