Due to other commitments I could only manage a short stroll this afternoon and so went no further than the area near the STW. It was another blustery day though one with plenty of sunshine and not too cold for the time of year. Although I didn't see anything too exciting it's always interesting to see how much the birdlife can change in even a short space of time.

No Siskins today though Redpolls passed over on two occasions and were probably the best birds. An indication of how quiet the site was came when a male Sparrowhawk flashed through without even causing a murmur of alarm. Other raptors noted included the almost regular Buzzards and Red Kites both of which will no doubt benefit from the myxomatosis affecting the local rabbits. Nothing much else to report other than a glimpse of a Munjac before it darted into cover. This bread and butter stuff is all very well but it would be nice to get a bit of jam now and again!
