The day looked to be a bit cold and windy, so I decided to go to Mere Sands where the trees protect from the cold wind and the paths are good.As with everywhere at the moment, the water levels were rather high and there appeared to be few birds on the water.However, the woods contained some interesting fungi:

I stopped in the best hide for Kingfisher, but no luck today.However, a Little Egret decided to come and feed although it was often behind annoying stalks of vegetation which were blowing about in front of it.
A Little Grebe caught a couple of large fish, though a bit far off for a good shot:

The Egret caught quite a few large fish too:
