Family commitments meant that I could only squeeze a short walk in this morning, I popped along to the area near the town's STW to make the most of that time. It was grey though relatively mild and if the birding was far from exciting I did at least walk off a few of those Christmas calories!

| Pylon relay, Buzzard and Raven |
Numbers of Redwings and Blackbirds were on site and a small flock of Redpolls were noted. A mixed flock moving through the scrub near to the stream contained a Goldcrest, all came under the watchful gaze of a Buzzard perched on one of the pylons. It was eventually chivvied away by some irate Carrion Crows but its place was taken by a Raven. This patch of land seems to fall within the territory of a pair of Ravens and this one moved from pylon to pylon calling as it went. Once it had announced its ownership to all and sundry it moved on and with time also seemingly flying by I followed the Raven's example. A Cormorant and a Grey Wagtail were noted on my way home.
