Of interest perhaps -
There has been an Influx of Goosander into the area with perhaps as many as 21 birds (nothing flew off whilst I was watching, well only 50 metres or so) . 13 at Walkers Stadium Weir (10 male), 5 (4 male) on the Biam adjacent to the Boardwalk on the Meadows, 2 female behind Aldi with Mallard on Grand Union and another with Mallard Kings Lock area Aylestone. I suspect that many of these birds will also be frequenting the large pool opposite Enderby Police Station.
4 Water Rail showing well on Ice next to the Walkers Stadium also, always nice to see.
Good for photography perhaps, with many approachable with care, should the 'city' folk fancy some sharp colour against the snow and ice.
