This morning the dice was rolled and told me to try Clowes Wood. Another grey cloudy morning was probably not ideal for visiting a tract of mature woodland, but I reminded myself that there were historical records of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, Firecrest, and (in summer) Wood Warbler for this wood. Maybe I'd get lucky.
I only had an hour or so to spare, and predictably my only woodpecker was Great Spotted Woodpecker, and my only 'crest a Goldcrest.
In fact my best birds were a pair of vocal Marsh Tits, but they were being disturbed by a couple of dog-walkers and their five barking dogs, so I barely got a view of them.
Anyway, I don't think I'll be posting anything more this side of Xmas, so seasons greetings to everyone who reads this blog.
