A Very Cold Edge

A return to Winter today with low temperatures and gusting winds. Despite the threat the rain didn’t come down.

Got my first Red Grouse of the year 😊. Can’t remember my last Snipe but last spring springs to mind so it was good to hear one chipping twice 😀.

12 Meadow Pipit, 1 Skylark,  4/5 Curlew, 4 Lapwing. 2 Goldfinch 5 Blackbird.

Both dams empty bar one Canada. 4 Greylag airborne.
