With the weather closing in this afternoon, it was a quick walk around the "block" to see what was about.
A couple of highlights with a Chiffchaff in Broadcroft Quarry Lane and 3 Redwing in the horse paddock.
Just one Buff-tailed Bumblebee seen. There were no butterflies, hoverflies or even flies for that matter in the freezing cold weather where the temperature managed to get to 7.3°C.
