It is looking very atmospheric at The Lodge this morning, as the fog lays over a frosty backdrop with a hazy sun breaking through at times.

This is in contrast to the very sunny day yesterday, when the crowds flocked here to enjoy a good walk after Christmas with the car-park often at full capacity.
Severall lesser redpolls, treecreeper and nuthatches were all seen around the car-park, while ravens, buzzards, sparrowhawk and siskins were spotted on the reserve. A male bullfinch was again at the hide and three were seen along the trail from the shop to Galley Hill. On Sandy Heath, the flock on the seed crop included reed buntings, linnet, redpoll and several stonechats.
Make sure you bring your camera if you are coming for a visit, as it's looking wonderful in these wintry conditions.
