Pallas's Dip but good year ticks

I have been starved of birding for the last week due to a project go live - living out of a hotel, late nights with work and parties!
Friday allowed a cheeky trip to Moor Green Lakes to attempt to see the rare warbler. A very fleeting view of what could have been, but can't count that as a tick.
This trip produced a massive 9 years ticks !
Lots of goldcrests to start, and then LONG TAILED TIT, a hunting BARN OWL, JAY, a single
MEADOW PIPIT on the river bank, a single EGYPTIAN GOOSE, a pair of calling GREY WAGTAILS, a single COAL TIT while looking for the warbler, a TREECREEPER and 3 GOOSANDER on one of the lakes.
Year tick total up to #77

Note: My lumix camera does NOT operate in freezing conditions! The button to take pictires fails to work. The only way to use it is by plugging in the remote shutter button!
Hence the lack of pictures recently, it just dont work...
