Wednesday 14th February and the only love on show at the park was that shown by the ducks for the water on the fields. 500 wigeon, 100 teal were joined by 17 gadwall, 20 redshank and about 10 black-tailed godwits. There were also small numbers of curlew, mallard, snipe and shoveler too. It had been raining all morning and the fields seemed as wet as they have ever been.
As the sun set, it cast its reflection across all the different pools in the fields. This was the sunniest part of the day but sadly it was heading for sunset time. At the park pond the fox came out at dusk to survey the scene which included a reasonable tally of 10 tufted ducks.
