Penns Wood, St Andrew's Church, Church Ope Cove and Church Ope Cove Wood
A much colder day and with the wind now coming from the north-east it was pretty chilly at the cove. The morning walk was was postponed as it was pretty wet and miserable, however as the front moved on it was at least dry enough for a late afternoon walk.
In Penns Wood there was a Firecrest and a Chiffchaff, mirrored by another Firecrest and Chiffchaff at the back of the cove.
Elsewhere a Sparrowhawk was making it way over Wakeham, with a posse of Herring Gulls making sure it didn't hang around.
Unfortunately the damp and cool conditions meant there were very few invertebrates around and all I came across was a White-lipped Banded Snail
Here are a few images from today:
This Dunnock was in good voice at the top of Penns Wood.
I'm pretty sure this is a White-lipped Banded Snail.
This is the underground reservoir, which sits under St Andrew's Church.
And this is the rain from the reservoir making its way down to the beach.
