With my legs warmed up from yesterday's cycle ride, I breezed into work, taking 5x
Bullfinches at the N perimeter of Oaken Wood and my old mate, the
Little Owl, back in his usual haunt at Kiln Barn Farm.
The sun showed signs of putting it's hat on (hip, hip hooray) at lunchtime, so I decided to trespass on
Alan Woodcock's nearby patch. Mike Easterbrook joined me and as we arrived at the chosen Cotoneaster tree the Waxwings duly left! Luckily Alan was on the scene and guided us to the privet hedge just down the road, where despite the dull light we got some excellent views of 21x
Waxwings, a few
Blue Tits and a
Chaffinch! A very quick look at Little Alders Lake turned up a
Goldeneye that seemed to be favouring an aquatic lifestyle, barely breaking the surface to get decent views. And when I got back to work the sun shone non-stop until dusk!
