A cold but clear day today for my walk around the cemetery and Horsefield. I was delighted to see that the goldcrest was still present in the same location in the cemetery as was the bullfinch trio in the woodland burial ground. I was intrigued by this as bullfinches are thought to be monogamous; perhaps this trio are the remains of a winter flock. I was pleased to see a group of long-tailed tits in the woodland burial ground and a buzzard soaring over the Horsefield. I wait with anticipation for meadow pipits, skylarks and linnets returning to the Horsefield after spending the winter on our saltmarshes.
