What fantastic weather today! Blue skies, -9C and no wind.
Just a shame that there wasn’t much on the bird front to enjoy: I had a plan on
getting up close and personal with Hawkie and watch and document hunting but
Hawkie had no wish to get all cosy with me and kept a good distance from me
with a deep ditch in between us. I went searching for new and more cooperative
individuals but found none although a total of three Great Grey Shrikes was
some kind of result.
The weather has put an end to the duck fest (everything is
relative) with the lake going from 10% frozen yesterday to 99% frozen today.
The tiny area of open water still held a single Goldeneye and two Cormorants
but they will be pushed out by the end of the day.
My pictures show how blue the sky was a little else....
