Colwick Park, 3rd January

Another update on the day i went out - i wonder how long this will last...

Not much to say unfortunately though.

Watched a Song Thrush feeding in my garden, which was nice to see. I've been putting oats and bread and the odd apple out over the last few weeks, with only a bit of interest from a robin and some blackbirds, i need to get some hanging feeders for all the Tits that are constantly about. The thrush was happily pecking away at the last of the breadcrumbs, so when it had finished i went out and topped it up.

I then went out to Colwick Park, as i haven't been for ages, to see if there were some interesting wildfowl out there, but the lakes had completely frozen over, so all there was was a few black headed and common gulls. The woodland was reasonably busy though with all the common birds about, but the highlight was a couple of Goldcrest feeding amongst a large tit flock.

When i got home i did some washing up, and noticed a group of around 10 Redwing in next doors tree, 9 flew off leaving one which sat for quite a while, before following the rest when it realised it was alone.
