A dusting of snow first light, Chapel Lane
An icy cold E>4 throughout the day and a flurry of snow at 0645 hrs but this lasted only a short period leaving just a light covering on the ground.
The cold spell seemed to stir up the birds today with busy skies though nothing was moving in any particular direction. Several small gulls were around all the daylight hours and Greenfinches were very active around Foxhill gardens.
Three Linnets were in Hawthorns down Chapel Lane, seems like this is a species that will be over wintering in our area in the future.
2 Herons flew >N over Foxhill at midday and a Kestrel was hovering over the old Grimston Garage area.
34 Lapwings flew over the garage p.m. heading towards Jackson Hill.

No sightings of Roe Deer, Fox, Hare or Badger will be mentioned on this blog throughout the year and links will be removed from other blogs giving the whereabouts of these mammals due to the rising influx of poaching, long dogging and lamping by sick individuals.
