10-03-26 Tuesday - Hooded Merganser

Temp 06°C to 12°C - a brighter day, a light SW/WSW wind to start, moving to a strong S/SSW later, with gusts to 23mph.

Please note, there is very limited parking near Pilning Wetlands. Last time the Hooded Merganser was there, some inconsiderate birder blocked the road with their parking and residents could not access their houses, and the bin lorry could not empty the bins. Do not park there unless there is suitable room and you are not blocking road- lorries need to be able to access the houses. There is plenty more parking further down the road, a short walk away. Or park at Severn Beach and walk along the seawall path.
