Wigeon - 76
Reserve
Pheasant - female seen along entrance road ('new in'!!)
Moth
A Wormwood Pug was on the wall in the kitchen - has this emerged from a pupa near a heater?
1st W (e.g. median covert pattern/moult contrast in gcs) Rock Pipit of indeterminate form, but possibly a dispersing petrosus. Many of the saltmarsh-dwelling 'likely' littoralis have e.g. more prominent supercilia, less smudged underpart streaking and whiter outer tail feather. Thanks Alan
