Winter Wildlife
Adult Water Rail- Beetlejuice (aka our very own Natural History Museum team member and world bettle expert) informs us that younger birds have a pale area around the 'forehead'
Brown Rat
Fox on Ice
Colt's-foot already beginning to flower. Also called son-before-father as the flowers appear before the leaves
Turkey-tail (we think)
A lot of the movement has stopped today although there were still about 80 Fieldfare and 60 Redwings about. About 50 Meadow Pipits on the mounds and early morning there were the 3 Curlew which have been hanging around for a while now and one of the Iceland Gulls was breifly on the lake.

Fox on Ice is incredibly beautiful . . .
Foxes in snow and ice look at their best I reckon. Nice to have had a bit of proper winter. Cheers Wolfy.
