A crisp frosty morning tempted me out for a Saturday stroll along the road which borders the patch. I could see that the flashes were frozen solid so I concentrated on the area between Church Farm and Bannams Wood.
It was a bit quiet if I'm honest. The highlights were nine Ravens which flew over Church Farm, and a good total of Meadow Pipits in the adjacent pasture, with at least 17 eventually taking flight.
I did have designs on sketching the little birds in the wood, particularly Goldcrests, but they were not playing ball and I only managed three brief and distant views of the latter in the treetops, not really enough to produce anything worth while on paper.
I'll try again tomorrow.
