Filled up the feeders at Ewelme this morning. Usual list of birds with Water Rails (more "showey" than usual), Green Sandpiper and a couple of Snipe the most noteworthy. I noticed behaviour that I hadn't registered before. The Black-headed Gull was dabbling it's feet to disturb invertebrates and then eating them. I have seen Little Egrets doing this but not gulls before.
Had a walk down to the river after lunch and was somewhat amazed to see a Mandarin Duck sitting on one of the jetties. Must try and sort out my camera - seems to have slipped to a lower resolution unfortunately so todays pics a bit naff - even more than usual.
