Old Guy Rd juncus field.
Notice the solar panels, they must be activated with the fog.
Plenty Blackbirds around.
Typically, with the big lens on the camera and good light a dinner time dash failed to produce any Golden Plover.
The Pit Lane pitch was bare but I re located the Lapwing flock of 69 in their favourite field half way down the Bonnet a good distance away but no Goldies.
After checking fields from Keelham past a frozen Raggalds Flood it was on to Old Guy Road to dash along the footpath through the fields towards Fleet Lane to check the juncus field for Snipe.
This turned out to be one of my, not the best projects, as the footpath was ankle deep in mud resulting in working with wet feet all afternoon and failing to find the target birds.
A few small gulls were present and up to 9 Blackbirds around the cricket field. Strangely these looked like our own Blackbirds and not the slim nervy continental type.
As I was typing this, Lynda shouted me to get a wasp out of the living room. There are plenty flies around outside but I,ve never seen a January wasp.
This day 2 year ago Lynda was 11 hours into her operation with 3 hours left to go.
