FROZEN (Adapted from the Snow Queen)

 The main thrust of yesterday's outing were c3 small birds that should have been consigned to the Year List before now, but nothing can be guarunteed in this game! For the first 2 the small stand of

OAK TREEs

within and adjacent to the the now frozen

NORTHERN HORSE PADOCKs
with the first, a very vocal

NUTHATCH

consigned to the log before even shutting down main engines, while a short time later at the

Sewerage Works first a female and then a male

FIRECREST
were coaxed out of the brambles, while the third hopeful will have to wait for another day.
Within the seemingly even more frozen

Solar Panel Compound
(earth stood hard as iron water like a stone)

just a single
LAPWING

turning our thoughts back to the Spring youngsters

and the final sighting of

3 or 4

MEADOW PIPITs
