Anderton Boat Life, River Weaver, Marbury Park area

We had a couple of hours walking on a cold but dry day. Tufted Duck, Shovelors, Buzzard, Kestrel, Goldfinch, Teal, Mallard, Cormorant (overhead) plus the usuals. A very unusual Robin took a piece of biscuit from René's hand near the river.
New additions to the 2015 list were Bullfinch (carpark at Marbury), Rook and for the lifelist 2 beautiful Firecrest were darting around each other, tumbling through the air in the woodland. At first I thought they were Goldcrest (which I still didn't see in 2015 so would have been happy) but then saw a few flashes of definite red as they came to the bushes in front of me. Lovely!
