A mostly grey but mild sort of morning with little of the sunshine that made such a welcome appearance yesterday. I stayed local today splitting my time between Weldon and Priors Hall, my expectations were modest and that perhaps was just as well!

| Siskins |
My walk down to Weldon was quiet with just a few Redwings being noted. The pond near the A43 roundabout was also quiet with just a few Gadwalls and an immature drake Tufted Duck joining the regular Mallards. There was a Siskin at the Woodland Park while a walk around the churchyard failed to produce any Hawfinches. Next my walk took me to Priors Hall where I began by checking out the quarry lake. I couldn't find much to look at, a search through the Greylag flock failed to reveal anything more exotic and two Ravens passing overhead were the only thing of real interest here. There were good numbers of Siskins around the ponds and also a couple of Redpolls but that was about as good as it got and I headed back to Weldon in order to catch my bus home.
