An icy but lovely morning to be out with the reservoir partially frozen but wall to wall blue skies.
All bird life was busy feeding today and squabbling over any food available.
Nothing unusual on the water other than an increasing winter flock of Mallards with the normal Common and BH gulls.
The perimeter of the water was alive with Robins,Wrens and Dunnocks and 2 female Brambling were in with a very mobile Chaffinch flock. A pair of Crossbills flew from the Back Lane plantation across to the usual spot by Giants Tooth but no Waxwings were found this week.
