A taste of things to come? I suspect not.... This mornings flurry has all gone and although it is cold and grey outside, it does not really feel like a snowy afternoon is in the offing. I may of course have to eat my words!
A few bits and bobs were seen over the weekend including Caspian Gulls, Water Pipits, Marsh Harriers, Peregrines and the first Brent Geese of the year.
Today has seen six more Brent on the river and a couple of Fieldfare which are new in. Otherwise, I think that we still need this cold weather to stir things up a little. The pair of Stonechats just outside the centre on the river wall have been showing exceptionally well though!
