Despite a slight thaw yesterday there's still around six inch's of the white stuff covering the ground at Utch with all four lagoons now completely frozen. So with no open water at all, today's visit was a bit of a dead duck! A single Dunlin roosting among the Lappies on the ice and a rather weak lookin' Barn Owl seen three times around half ten were the only birds of note.
In the end as you can see I spent more time snappin' away with the old Mugimakki than birdin'!
But all was not lost on the birdin' front pour moi and Mad Malc. A tour of the local berry bushs around home this afternoon paid off when we got in on this winters Waxie action with eight of the pink punksters feeding on Cotoneaster berries!!!
For a couple of dodgy piccies of said punks check out my latest "serious" blogtastic offering at http://birdincheadle.blogspot.com
That's all folks.
