A slippery cycle into work, with Bullfinches, Jay and GS Woodpecker the highlights.  Drawing up at the seeded track on the research station I picked out 8x Brambling washing in the puddles along with 20+ Chaffinches.  No camera though!  A couple of Herring Gulls were 'stomping' on the grass no doubt trying to raise a few earthworms to eat.

I managed 10 minutes out at lunchtime, no Bramblings probably due to the Sparrowhawk that glided low through the orchard as I arrived.  The only other sighting of interest was a rare one, Twisden and his chums slipping past on their return from a ramble, blurred photo on account of their great speed.  'No Exit', a great motto/mantra to live by boys!
