The snow had receded significantly this morning. In fact, it has largely disappeared from the bottom fields, whilst it remains at a few inches depth on the Downs and by the house,
Sun shining but bitterly cold; not expecting to see much.
I don't ususally list the birds I| see but given the variety seen or heard this morning, I thought I would make an exception:
Jackdaw, Rook, Crow (a hundred plus on stubble and maize (pheasant cover).
Pheasant.
Robin, Dunnock.
Greenfich, Chaffinch, Bullfinch
Blue Tit, Great Tit.
Magpie.
Skylark
Goldcrest
Buzzard
Sparrowhawk
Wood pigeon, Collared Dove.
Blackbird, Song Thrush, Mistle Thrush.
All this in a one hour stroll across fields and through woods.
Strangely, no winter migrants (Fieldfares, Redwings) which I see most other days.
