Enjoying the wintry conditions as of late. A flock of 20 crossbill relying on the water trough at Clumber Park for the past couple days. Also the wolf moon was particularly special.

Working nearby so made a quick visit to a blustery Alvecote pools yesterday. Good numbers of waterfowl, albeit nothing of note; 29 shoverlers, 5 wigeon, 3 GWE, 1 goosander (fem), 3 snipe, 4 LG, 3 GG, CC, CW and stonechat pair. What ever happened with Jenny (roy) of alvecote?

A family trip to the holy island today. I didn't see anything of note, although hawthorn laden bushes harboured good numbers of thrushes.
