Cold and bright. The woods along Coombe Lane were busy with a male Bullfinch, a singing Marsh Tit (plus several others calling) and a Coal Tit, along with Nuthatch and Great Spotted Woodpecker.
As I walked through the Green Man fields, a pair of Siskins dropped down beside the pond near the village hall, and showed well, while a young Mute Swan flew over.
Back down at intersection with Cooks Lane, the small lake there held six Wigeon – the first I’ve seen in Awbridge – alongside the more usual Canada Geese and Mallards. A few more Siskins were hanging around in the surrounding alders.
