Mob rules

A very fresh sunny morning today, if a tit nippley, even the birdbath was frozen over!
I watched a woodmouse in the hedgerow that didnt seem to bothered that I was there. Saw all 5 thrush species today - blackbird, songthrush, mistle thrush, redwing, and fieldfare.

Siskin, goldfinch and bullfinch all feeding together in the same tree. A new roost for the tawny owls but they were getting badly mobbed and moved back to the larch. Also of note, lots of young rabbits around and 1 late red admiral butterfly.
