Saturday 4th February 2012

Coldest day this winter, in fact perhaps the coldest I have known in the 40 years here. 9am this morning the outside Therm' was showing -10, warmest was 3pm when showing -5.
Exciting news to report on Birds spotted today in the garden. Managed a picture of the Long Tailed Tits. A Coal Tit, Great & Blue Tits were also recorded. Not seen the Coal Tit before, next goal is to secure a photograph.
The pair of Woodpeckers were back on form today, inseperable. Flying together between the Ash, Birch and Robinia Trees. Jay also back on form, catching up looking at the number of Monkey Nuts consumed!
                  Enjoyed a walk with Doug (Boyo, my eyes & ears!) early this morning to Southcote Lock. Very cold, frosty with a beautiful Sunrise. The Kennet was frozen at Fobney and Southcote, good picture of two sleeping Swans in the frozen Kennet.
Also saw two Muntjacs and a Fox in the Frozen Meadow along with a Pereguine and a Kestrel.




A good day all round.

  1. Considering the temperatures on the walk, I think you might have mis-spelled Peregrine when you clearly meant PENGUIN...
