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.
