The heavy snow forecast for last night never materialised, so I was off down the River Medway for an hours walk. I did the walk from Barming Bridge to Teston Bridge and back, quite heavy in the snow. Two
Snipe were from the streams that run down to the river, a couple of
Kingfishers darted ahead of me and themselves put a
Grey Heron up from the river's edge. Near Teston Bridge I got onto a small flock of
Siskin feeding in a Alder. On the walk back two
Cormorants flew over, followed by a single
Lapwing. Seven
Redpoll were still feeding in the Silver Birch at the top of South Street, Barming and I was pleased to see 12x
Greenfinch in the Field Maples at the back of my garden - where they'vr been the last few months I don't know! The afternoon was spent sledging and building a 'snow folly' - didn't get time to put the roof on it! Don't think the local football team will appreciate it when it's still on the centre circle in 5 weeks time!
