Thaw

Although the overwhelming sound of today has been the drip, drip of thawing snow and ice, you can see that the ground is still well covered.  The little streams and ditches are running with water but down at the tower hide the lake is still frozen over. 

Whilst walking down to the lake a Woodcock flew past from a nearby thicket, plenty of Brambling have been seen and a visitor reported seeing six Redwing on his walk around.

Earlier this week John took this photo of Bullfinch on one of the feeders.  Long-tailed Tit, Chaffinch, Blackcap and Great Tit were also seen on the feeders today.
