A quick buzz around late afternoon found very little at Ploughcroft with no signs of the usual Little Owls but nice to bump into AC doing his rounds.
Swalesmoor road produced the usual Linnet flock though smaller than usual as was the Lapwing flock at Shelf Moor.
A bright sunny day with some thawing in the sun but still plenty snow and ice this evening.
