November 26th 2010

With the wind chill -7 this morning, Bob and I had limited time to check the pond out -nothing new had arrived just the same birds we have been recording all week plus a very large Sparrowhawk perched and 3 Snipe.
Brandon Marsh this afternoon was almost frozen over, highlights were Water Rail, 5 Snipe, 25 Siskin and 15 Lesser Redpoll.
Out in the evening down the valley with Dave looking for owls and with no wind it was -6 with mist starting to develop. Heard Tawny and Barn Owl but the highlight was the Milky Way – awesome.
