A beautiful frosty morning with hardly a breathe of wind. Dave was there comfortably before me, but hadn't seen much of note.
Indeed our walk around today confirmed only that the usual suspects were largely still present, though ominously we couldn't find the Stonechats. We reckoned there were at least 40 Yellowhammers present, a single Coot was new on the pool, and the shed contained some fresh Barn Owl pellets.
It was great for photography though.

The highlight came when we returned to the cars. A little flock of seven Lesser Redpolls appeared in the birches and a couple showed well enough for photos.

The only gull we saw was a single immature Herring Gull which flew over, and the only ducks apart from Mallard were three Teal.
