A severe overnight frost and no sign at all of lying snow thawing. Following a clear and starlit night the morning was again very bright but very cold (well into the minuses).
A check of one of my favourite winter destinations, a large game strip comprising linseed and brassicas near 'The Arms' produced several Chaffinches, a few Greenfinches, and 60+ Linnets, all species were attracted to the area for feeding and shelter. 20+ Yellowhammers arrived and a single Bullfinch passed directly overhead and calling.
A juvenile ♀ Goshawk flew low over the game strip and made a half-hearted chase for something but continued to fly low and east.
Watton (1542)
A flock of 23 Cranes seen passing quite high and directly overhead (seen from garden) in a 'V' formation and continued east. What a fantastic sight....and sound.
