A Bullfinch enjoying the fruits of the hedgerow this morning...



and the Snipe were feeding in the mud while the Stonechat in front of them is on lookout...

Smile for the camera! A Goldfinch looking very smart in the winter sunshine...




A dusting of snow on some logs...



and a Meadow pipit in the meadow...



meanwhile a Heron is fishing and watching over a group of Black-headed gulls on the scrape...



but gulls are not always just gulls... while most of the group were Black-headed gulls, the picture below shows that in fact two of the group were Common gulls (they have yellow legs) and one is a juvenile Herring gull (larger and brownish)...

A New Year and the Winter sunshine lights the main pool...


while the Water rail tiptoes across the ice...
