... and dropped lower to feed on rowan berries ...
... then in flight again as they circled around the park ...
... landing again in another birch ...
... and posing for wonderful views against the pristine blue sky ...
In the afternoon with the daylight already on the wane Cresswell Pool was packed with birds ... big flocks of Lapwing and lesser numbers of Golden Plover occupied the skies and dropped again to the pool ... a Long-tailed Duck dived incessantly taking only the briefest time to take in air ... several Scaup were among the Goldeneye and an adult Mediterranean Gull dropped onto the water for a short stay ... among the many Redshank a single Ruff fed along the margins and there also appeared the long-staying Long-billed Dowitcher ... never still for long, it flew across the pool ... ran among the other waders and fed energetically ...
... after a brief rest it was off again ...
... among the several hundred Pink-footed Geese in fields to the north at least one Eurasian White-fronted Goose almost blended in with the other geese in the brisk wind and rapidly failing light ...
