The top frozen ground did soften slowly during the day, but the wind made it feel cold, especially pm.
Willey; this morning, about 20 Lapwing wereon the pasture to the east, these have likely come in from parts of UK hit by the snow and cold. Late pm about 20 Fieldfare were feeding on the pasture.
Theddingworth; checked along the lane to the canal and a feed station. Plenty of Rook and Jackdaw on the pastures, a flock c300 Wood Pigeon flew off a oil seed rape field. A Red Kite flew westerly just below the hills and 4 Mallard were looking to land - perhaps on the canal after a narrow boat hade just travelled by, no doubt breaking up any ice. c50 Fieldfare and a few Redwing were feeding on adjacent pasture. A small flock of Starlings were also nearby.
At the feed station, several Blue and Great Tits, a Coal Tit, 2 Long-tailed Tits were all visiting. A few Chaffinch were around and 4 Goldfinch flew in to the tree tops, a Great-spotted Woodpecker (male) flew in but decided not to stay long.
