Not remotely in the mood for this year yet and the dull days do nothing to promote a feeling of well being. A bit of late sun yesterday was welcome giving a glowing sunset made better by three Whooper Swans overhead going north. Nice to get them ticked early on as the list has also started a bit slow.

That's 41 so far with last years tally of 109 to beat. Also nice to see surviving Goldcrest and Treecreeper given the cold weather which were travelling with a marauding tit flock. Reports of a big bird gave me reason to spend a couple of hours freezing my butt late yesterday but without avail.

ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel PCF. It`s chucking it down at the mo, here in South Yorks.
Good luck with your quest to beat last year`s total.
