What have you seen

Not seen a mole above ground but was there a deep frost in your neck of the woods? Could explain it.

OP

Going to pick up new puppy tomorrow near to Santon Downham and weather permitting I will try and call in to see the Crossbills.........are they in a particular location.  I believe they are around the car park, is this correct.

I know it's a bit late, but I thought I would try.

There are 2 car parks they tend to hang about on.  One is on the right side before the rail crossing.  The other is turn left after the rail crossing and after a mile you will see the car park.  Good luck

Thanks for that, too dark at the moment to know whether conditions will be suitable or not.

Yes, Wherenext, cold, frosty and beautifully sunny. Same this morning, very slippy on our unsalted roads though.

Morning stroll locally, great views of Dipper and Grey Wagtail on the stream down at Roughlee. Also saw a small flock of what looked like Twite, but I've never seen Twite here in the winter months before, so maybe not. 

We sometimes see them and unfortunately we've had cats who do too, here's some info from the BBC Wildlife magazine. Our garden is full of mole tunnels, mostly nearer to the fields.

see here

OP

Found some time to visit, but no birds, can't expect them to turn up on cue.  Lots of people looking, so do not feel too bad.

Now have puppy to house train...???????

Hope all goes well with the puppy Greylag...I think you'll be busy for some time to come. 

Unlucky GL. We went twice and saw them twice. They were reported there yesterday.  

Good luck with the puppy

Thanks, Brue. A really interesting article. 😊
