9th February

Well, I couldn't resist one...

One of the forty plus Redwings.

Blue tit in Graveney wood.

One of the Nuthatches around the tennis courts.

Not that much to report from an early walk this morning. It was cold and bright and generally quiet. There were 40+ Redwing over by Dr Johnson's Avenue and 2 Mistle thrushes by the running track. 3 pairs of Great spotted woodpeckers were seen and 2 Green woodpeckers were heard, in Cafe and Graveney woods. A Herring gull flew over Furzedown as did a Grey heron and a Cormorant. There were no Cormorants on the pond though there was a heron and 4 pairs of Tufties. Greenfinches and Chaffinches were heard singing which made me wonder where the Godfinches were. The highlight was 4 Nuthatches chasing each other around the bushes and small trees at the back of the tennis courts.
