Boxing Day walk



Went out for a Boxing Day walk with the family across the fields to Madingley and back today. A beautiful day, bright and sunny, and a good 5 degrees warmer than at any time over the preceding week. Lots of redwings and fieldfares around - I wonder if we've more at the moment because the bad weather has pushed them south to us? Also some signs of Spring (catkins and pussy willow buds) alongside the remnants of snow, and berries left over from the Autumn - a strange mix of the seasons!

  1. Hi Penny, I think you should expect to see plenty of Fieldfare and Redwing anyway now, especially around those fallen apples.
