A frosty walk produced sightings of a variety of birds.
A significant fined (for me anyway) was a male Blackcap, a bird I rarely see in Winter.
Just to prove I do get up early occasionally, a photo of the frosty grass.
A distant Song Thrush.
A male Blackbird searching for food amongst the frosty grass.
A male Kingfisher being its usual unhelpful self by hiding partially behind twigs and stalks.
An equally unhelpful female Stonechat looking the other way and then flying off.
One can usually rely on a Robin to pose.
Along side a small wood I could hear this tap tapping.
I assumed that it was a Woodpecker, but couldn't find it initially.
The male Great-spotted Woodpecker eventually showed itself, but it was never going to show me a good open image. It then flew off.
A female Blackbird enjoying the little warmth available from the sun.
Another Robin.
This flock of Canada geese are usually resident at this local farm or a mile away on open Marsh land.
A male Blackbird rooting through fallen leaves.
When the Blackbird moves on this Robin tries to find something under the same leaves.
A local Grey Heron.
