A great morning to be out though an icy cold NW>4-5 but warming slightly in the sunshine.
A real taste of change today with big gulls on the move and Lapwings back holding territory.
A rare visitor to the feeding station was a Mistle Thrush which I think is a site first for me other than migrating fly overs.
Several winter thrushes were heading back >N but these could only be seen by scanning far out to the west of the reservoir.
