Well it's safe to say that winter has very definitely arrived bringing with it plummeting temperatures and heavy frosts. I had enough time before work to have another quick look at the area near to the sewage works. Perhaps not surprisingly the ponds have all but frozen over which has meant an exodus of Teal. Many of the other species that were seen on my previous visit also appear to have abandoned ship with just Redpoll and Grey Wagtail remaining. Best bird during my walk was a Green Sandpiper at the stream, they're scarce visitors here which are usually brought in by cold weather. Not wishing to cause to much disturbance I left after a short space of time, the birds need every minute of these short winter days to find food.
