Out of Town - Max Bygraves

With white, fluffy clouds in a cluster hanging on the breeze to dry!

A moderate change in the weather for the better but none at the Moth Traps, which again lay fallow, but accompanied by the vocal Tawny Owl for the 5th day running. They can be early nesters so here's hoping! Little, or maybe more accurately, nothing down south had us heading in the opposite direction to find 2 2 distinctly different shades of

PIED WAGTAIL

(black)

and

greyish

at the Eco gateway.
All but the single Little Grebe had abandoned ship across both ponds while the Heath remains inaccessible due to flood water. However, light at the end of the tunnel came at the

Sewerage Works

where the 'caps' on some of the

BLACK-HEADED GULLs
were seen to be even darker than those previously reported.
We haven't ventured up

CHIFFCHAFF

Alley for a couple of weeks now

but no surprise to find a dozen or more still in residence with some also vocal.

DUNNOCK

were also represented

but a joy to find a single

GREY WAGTAIL

which have been all but nonexistent over the Winter period.
Best was saved until last as among the emerging

CATKINs

possibly the male

BLACKCAP
from early winter, but who knows it could just as easily be another?
