Checked out a few local areas on Sunday afternoon. Got a surprise at Dunbridge lake as it is being used to take water from the Test.. just a huge water pump, a single Great-crested Grebe, and not a lot of island left above water! the water level is a good 5-10 metres higher than last weekend. Should be nice and muddy when they let the level drop anyway. 

As the main road out of Romsey was closed due to flooding, I checked out the flooded fields near Timsbury, but for once there was very little on the water. Plenty of Gulls and 40 Wigeon overhead though.

A muddy field on Hoe Lane had over 30 Stock Doves and a similar number of Pied Wagtails. So nothing of real quality, but good to see where the birds are congregating at the moment.
