Thursday 27th December 2012

After further overnight rain the day was actually dry, sunny and on the cold side.
After a morning of clearing up I went for two long afternoon walks. 
Walk 1 - After parking in a layby I walked the length, breadth of Buckingham Drive. Also walked a fair way of Peppard Road. Where are these Waxwings, having a laugh with me this year!
Walk 2 - Fobney Lakes and Canal Path to Southcote. Hundreds of Goldfinches feeding from the Teasel Seeds in the flooded meadow.
One of the Fobney Hides is now surrounded by water, the canal bank also breached in one spot.
                              Good to see Mr & Mrs. Blackcap today on the feeders. The two Jays and Woody also very busy on the Monkey Nuts, still surprised at the number of Starlings feeding from the fat balls at this time of year.
