Plenty Greenfinch around the Delvers, Chaffinch but no Brambling.
Large flocks of Starlings around Fly Flatts
Redwings in the Delvers field
Kestrels always present, Ned Hill
9 Snow Buntings. Soil Hill
Early Jan and Pinkies already starting to move north, Ogden.
A real miserable dark day with heavy drizzle throughout accompanied by a strong WSW wind and swirling fog.
Well done to NK for braving the conditions and battling over Soil Hill to Ogden and getting rewarded with his 11th Jack Snipe sighting this winter plus a Woodcock at Ogden, see Queensburybirder.
Nothing to report up here in the gods hence the pics from around this time last year. Not the best of forecasts for the weekend but something good is bound to turn up soon.
You may have noticed that Ive removed the weather forecast widget from the right hand column as it was completely hopeless for predicting a 5 day forecast and never got it right, I,ll stick to looking out of the window from now.

NOTE !!
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.
