On the 18th February:
1979
A visit to Frampton pools, where on the sailing lake were 2 Black-throated Divers, a Red-necked Grebe, a male Red-crested Pochard and 125 White-fronted Geese, with a further 60 on the woodland pool.
One of the divers was heard calling several times and the grebe remained hunched a lot of the time, probably due to the cold conditions.
Also on the woodland pool were Canada and Greylag Geese, 10 Tufted Ducks and 5 female Goldeneyes. In the woodland we saw a Treecreeper and Great Spotted Woodpecker.
