First entry for New Year

Back to the diary after a couple of months away from writing.

So far the winter has been mild, more wet and windy than frosty and no snow.

Went to Low Barns Reserve on Tuesday 2nd January. Very quiet apart from a lot of activity at the bird feeders with, blue tit, great tit, marsh tit, chaffinch, coal tit, long tailed tit and great spotted woodpecker.











Walked round our local footpaths this morning. Very strong smell of fox at one point. Watched a flock of long tailed tits foraging in the hawthorns.
