It was nice to see the sun again and wrapped up well it was a very pleasant day. This morning on our way to the reserve Les Corrall and I came across 29 Waxwings on Barnsley Road near Birch Tree Cottage, Cudworth Bridges at 10.15hrs. They were happily feeding on haws and Rose hips and were were still there at 12.15hrs.
Reaching Lidster's yard near Bleachcroft Farm Little owl was on the lorry chassis as a fox jumped off a wall nearby. Just before we moved on Kingfisher came off the dike below and 2 Jays called.
Only the dike was free of ice so most of the wildfowl, except for our resident Mute Swans, were feeding on there. 2 Weasels were hunting the railway embankment and a Red Legged Partridge called. The car park area was alive with Siskin, Redpoll, Goldfinch, Fieldfare and Redwing. Green and Great Spotted Woodpecker were also present.
