Oh Deer What Can the Matter Be

 Straight in at the deep end as immediately on arrival at the Sewerage Works the low tones of the outstanding 3rd 'little bird' and with a little coaxing straiaght into view a

a male then female
BULLFINCH
and beyond the locked gates
and against a clear blue sky one of about 30
BLACK-HEADED GULLs
With frozen Ponds and Padlocks there was little else to delay our transit to the south
and again into the company of a decent number of
continuously gorging
FIELDFARE
The small colony of
HOUSE SPARROWs
along the track rarely pose for a snap except for this cheeky chappy while the 3
ROE DEER
along with half a dozen
WOOD PIGEONs
appeared to be hitting it off!
