A newcomer for Foxhill and more wayward Wrens

                  A welcome newcomer to Foxhill park

      May seem common to most but not up here.

  The first sighting, this looks like something different I thought!
             More Wrens getting desperate and daring

A degree warmer today but still no thaw, looks like we,ll have to wait for the weekend for that.
Usual sp. about but lunchtime in the park saw 2 interesting passerines from a distance which turned out to be a pair of Greenfinch which is pretty rare up here at Foxhill, it just shows how the weather is stirring things about.
Wrens seem to be suffering with 2 more seen today out in the open, these being up Chapel Lane, one pecking in the gutter at the roadside. Another couple of days and they should have made it through ok.
A report today from a customer of a Woodcock at the top of the Dailie fields under the high wall, my bogey bird strikes again.
