A bright sunny day with slight thawing mid morning to mid afternoon but the cold N>4 playing its part in keeping the birds down.
With clear blue skies at lunch time I took the big camera up Foxhill park with me whilst dog walking with the expectation of moving Pinkies , Buzzards or Swans but the skies were deserted with nothing other than a couple of Common gulls, most of which have left the area now, and that was it. This coincides with a negative report from NK at Soil Hill and DS at Ogden today.
One good report from BV , (B.O.G.) with 8 Pinkies still present at Leeshaw yesterday as well as 4 Oyks and 2 Curlew.
