twas the day before Christmas....

..... and nothing stirred not even a bird.

OK I exaggerate a bit but it was quiet out there not to say grey and cold.

I went to the Forest first....







This Grey Heron is standing next to the tern raft.....


So I stopped off for a Bacon and Sausage sandwich and a nice cup of tea (how British!).




There were a few bird highlights some Redwing, Bullfinch, Marsh Tit, Green Woodpecker and a Great Spotted Woodpecker.

I then popped over to Rye Meads it was equally quiet! Highlights a few Redwing, Bullfinch, Long Tailed Tits and Lapwing.

All the best for Christmas and the New Year Pete.

Seems par for the course today in terms of birds.

(I indulged in a Hot Dog from the stall in Bushy Park - naughty but very nice)
