With ice roads and threats of snow this morning up on the tops I hung fire hoping to go out mid afternoon but when that time came there was a mix of heavy sleet and snow showers so I took advantage of the poor conditions and got one of the dogs bathed and groomed instead.
I,m putting high hopes on something special showing up in the last 5 days of the year inspired by my reports from the end of December 2021 when the last 4 days produced 5 Goldeneye, 1 Common Scoter and a red head Smew all at Mixenden. Its unlikely that history will repeat itself but, ever the optimist, stranger things have happened.
