27th Dec - snow last night ~12cm, continued light during morning, slowly thawing too, wind moderate NW, 2C, clearing pm - late sun

Willey;  An unexpected amount of snow, ground covered except on leeward hedge sides. Birds were busy at the feed station, I digiscoped a few.  Plenty of Blue and Great Tits, a Coal Tit, about 15 House Sparrows and 6 Tree Sparrows, ~6 Chaffinch, 3 Greenfinch and 4 Yellowhammers, female Great-spotted Woodpecker.  A party of 9 Long-tailed tits fed in the hedge, a little later a Sparrowhawk flew over quite high not bothering the birds feeding here.

I could not make it out of the village due to the road conditions after the snow, However Chris Hubbard popped to Stanford reservoir and sent this photo of the scenery there.
