The Met office were right (for a change!) and I woke to a very wintery scene this morning. Fortunately I had a 7:30 meeting to be at so I managed to get out before the rush hour really started. I was too busy fighting with my coat in the wind to look for birds when I got to my meeting, and although I did hear the calls of a flock of tits in the trees around the car park, I was also far too busy looking at my feet to make sure I wasn't sliding around in the slush to look up and see them.
Town centre birding today was limited to Black Headed Gulls being blown around in the sky, and a glimpse of a Peregrine moving between the shopping centre and Thwaites' tower. On the way home via the Waxwing bush from earlier in the week the only movement was a solitary Fieldfare scoffing on the berries. Hopefully the weather will be a bit kinder tomorrow and I can get out for a bit more birding. Apologies for the quality of the Fieldfare picture, the light was low.
