A visit to Callows today to top up the winter feeding station feeders. It was a day of mixed cloud and sun (8C) with a strong westerly wind making it feel cold. As I walked through the wood crisp, dry leaves and twigs crackled underfoot and the wind roared in the trees like distant surf pounding on a beach. Snowdrops and aconites were coming along, although not yet in their prime. A highlight while topping up the feeders was the cronking of the raven and looking up I just caught it flapping over the wood. Driving away from the wood I was pleased to see a mixed flock of redwing and fieldfare in a roadside oak with a single mistle thrush with them.
