Plenty Jackdaws around
A cold cloudy morning with a moderate N>4 and heavy rain showers midday. By mid afternoon the skies cleared leading to a bright sunset.
With a borrowed car for a couple of days we caught up on shopping etc then a visit to Fly Flatts to check for gale damage around the boats and compound and to see if the track was passable for the sailors AGM this weekend.
Still the remains of a few drifts down the track and under the walls but thawing well and no access problem. Everything shipshape around the compound after the gales up there, which must have been horrendous going by the debris along the south shore.
Plenty piles of shattered car window glass on the top road which is usual up there after snow. The local scumbags know that there will be abandoned cars in the snow so easy targets for them to trash.
As expected, very quiet bird wise with just a few BH gulls plus a Sparrowhawk and Kestrel.
A morning wander around Foxhill produced 41 Common gulls in the park plus a small flock of 28 post roost Redwing and 3 Fieldfare heading >NE.
