Minus -9c in valley and it felt like it. No sign of any Barn Owls, brief views of Long-eareds, 4 Raven, 2 Tawny Owls calling, Great-spotted woodpecker drumming and a male Stonechat. Napton Reservoir was partially frozen with 4 Great-crested Grebe, female Goosander, and 13 Pochard, Snipe, Woodcock over and a number of winter thrushes.
Heading for breakfast at Long Itchington we saw 2 Raven flying over Marton and by the time we reached Brandon Marsh temperature up to -6c. A Cetties Warbler showed in front of East Marsh hide feeding at the base of reed bed and Water Rail showed in same area. Plenty of Teal, Shoveler, 2 Shelduck, 4 Snipe, and Carlton Hide had Water Rail out in open. Treecreeper 5 and Marsh Tit also seen.
Great views of Little Owl roosting on Lawford Heath, Buzzard and many Fieldfares.
