Garden bonus....... and a quick look at Waterhay

20 Dec - A glance out of the window early morning was fortunate, otherwise I might have missed the brief visit to the feeder by a very active flock of 7 Long-tailed Tits.....a dash for the camera and I got a few record shots......and mid morning, a quick sanity walk at Waterhay, where the flooding is much more extensive than a few days ago. A Peregrine flying S over the reedbed (a male, as quite small) was a bonus - otherwise, the usual Water Rails and Cetti's Warblers calling, and a flock of 100+ mobile winter thrushes.
