I had a few holes and a few walks around the course over the last week or so. It was nice to see a few ducks on the reservoir, particularly on Monday when it offered a bit of shelter from the wind. There were six Gadwall (5 males and 1 female), which is the most that I have seen around Frilford, as well as around a dozen Tufted Ducks and some Coot.

This Little Grebe was close to the edge in calmer conditions earlier in the week.

Elsewhere around the course there are lots of Linnets about. This flock was roosting in the trees on the Green course. There are also a few Redpolls and Siskins still around
