Tuesday 8th December - cold and foggy

Not much to report. The fog didn't lift at home until after 11 this morning. It was patchy elsewhere as I drove Adie to school - or rather she drove to school (first driving attempts for a learner are white-knuckle rides for parents !!!)..

It brightened up to a glorious Winter afternoon, but I'd already settled into some jobs and just managed a couple of walks around the fields. Nothing of note on the feeders today, although in yesterdays gloom 2 Brambling were briefly present in the morning, the first I've seen at home this Winter. A Green Woodpecker was on the lawn first thing with the 8-10 Blackbirds and the Grey Wagtail made a fleeting appearance. The flock of 12 Lesser Redpoll are still feeding in birches at the back of the large field and 2 Fieldfare were perched up and a noisy Marsh Tit kept me company walking back.

Marsh Tit, Presume what looks like a boldly striped under-tail is caused by tree-shadow !
