Bittern located and photographed by Terry Lakeman on the lower (Easternmost) pond, it showed again briefly pm slipping and sliding on the ice before going into dense cover. Also 1 Ruddy duck, 6 Wigeon, 1 Pintail, 3 Teal, 2 Little Grebe and 1 Water Rail.
The Bittern was probably the same bird that was seen earlier in the day on one of the ponds in Paignton Zoo, apparently it was seen flying down the valley towards Clennon Ponds.
