It's been a quiet birding week largely because I have doggedly started visiting underwhelming local sites such as Wirehill Wood on the southern edge of Redditch, and even more bizarrely the land surrounding Junction 3 of the M42.
I can't think of anything unexpected at either locality so let's move on to today's brief visit to Earlswood Lakes. I only had time for one circuit of Engine Pool, but there were a few mini highlights to record.
The best was probably a Chiffchaff in the willows bordering the lake, but a close second was a pair of Goosanders at the far end of Terry's Pool (viewed distantly from theTerry's/Engine causeway), a pair of Wigeon, and a decent count of at least 33 Common Snipe on the rafts.
