I wondered where the Mandarin ducks went in the winter. Often see them near Worcester in the summer but never winter.

The blackbirds were waiting for me this morning and have now been fed

A hare has been mooching round my garden for the last couple of days. It spends a couple of hours under the fruit tree in the centre of the photo and I often see it in other areas too. I've had one before, but only ever one at a time. Never seen a pair boxing, which I'd love to see.

A pr of magpies are watching from a neighbours roof before coming down.
In the meantime at the bottom of the garden the sparrows have already arrived.

Whilst on our morning stroll we heard our first cuckoo of 2023

Quite a few lambs being noisy in Oxon. Lucky they just missed the period of -8'c a few weeks ago!

Don't often cycle down in the river valleys near Stockport but went for some MTB fun on Saturday. Cycling along a bridleway about 400m from the River Goyt I was delighted to see a pair of Reed Buntings. The males are easy to recognise so luckily I saw that first. I probably would have struggled to identify the female based on the fleeting views I had, had I not seen the male just before
There are a couple of upland marshes near home that have Reed Buntings in the summer (the song is very easy to recognise and carries a long way) but don't think I have ever seen one in the winter around here

Our over-wintering female Blackcap this morning - tricky to get a decent pic through our dirty window!
We also have a silly-tame female Blackbird who follows us around like a puppy, wanting to be fed. She's spoilt rotten, of course.

A bit late with this one, here's a photo of a starling murmuration near Market Drayton about a month ago...

Yesterday morning was warm and sunny
A peacock butterfly.
I’ll be boring you with moths soon- my moth trap gets delivered on Tuesday….
