Birding - 1 Jan 2011
Just a brief ramble around, first of all to Chobham Common, which proved on the north side of the M3 to be particularly devoid of birds after the cold spell.
Silver Birch stand - Chobham Common
Followed by a visit to Dorney Wetlands produced a female Goosander and immature drake Smew, a male and 2 female Red-crested Pochards, but no sign of any Bittern or Bearded Tits.
