The first birding group outing of 2020 was to Pennington Flash. I wasn’t able to walk around the whole of the route due to my muscle injury but we still managed to get a decent number of birds but nothing particularly special. A nice day to get out and about though and Pennington was very busy with birders who also thought the same.
