A couple of Pheasant are still coming to the feed station, every now and then the cock will make his display and call.
A small mixed flock of Redwing and Fieldfare were feeding on the pastures mid-afternoon.
On checking a manhole to turn on the stopcock I noticed a Frig in the bottom of the hole, about a meter deep with vertical brick walls. I decided to take it out and place safe nearby. In the past it's not unusual for me to find Frogs and Toad in manholes, probably they overwinter there, but I doubt they can get out. Also, the brick sides had a reasonable number of large snails, maybe 25 or more, stuck to them, these definitely over wintered there.
