Strumpshaw and Buckenham Marshes

Strumpshaw brick hide was freezing cold. After an hour's viewing when we were reduced to counting Coot (18 max) we drove to Buckenham marsh with the heater at full blast. A hide is being erected on the Fisherman's car park, that was a surprise. To replace the Mill hide?
Scoping from the track to the Mill, 26 Taiga Bean Geese flew in from the direction of Cantley, still here. Later than usual I think.
Some Greylags appeared on the far bank of the river before entering the water. Amongst them were the four orange neck-ringed birds, ringed in Orkney and which previously appeared here a couple of winters ago.
