    called in late afternoon, open water for a change to the left hand side of the hide with many birds in that area of water or on the banks. counted 92 Wigeon. 87 Teal and 18 Snipe around the left hand margins of the pool.but the pool was icing over fairly quickly as the light was going. Liked the shot of the Snipe Brian, looks as if it's warming it's self !!!
