After completing the regular H&S checks at Fairburn and St. Aidans I decided to have a walk to the screen at Lin Dike.
Most of the water on the lagoon is frozen. A few birds were near the small area of open water.
Black-headed gulls and shelduck were the only birds to be seen. To the right of the screen a grey heron and a great white egret were close together, presumably looking for food in a ditch.
The water on the roadside flash was also frozen, with a few birds near the single bit of open water.
Three drake pintail were with the mallards, mute swans and teal.
I then returned to the centre and had a walk around the boardwalk.
A grey squirrel was keeping the birds away from the feeders, but some brave blue, great and coal tits took a chance and went to another feeder.
A female reed bunting also joined the tits, while a dunnock picked up the bits that had fallen onto the floor from the feeders.
I thought that the trees looked smart in the winter sunshine.
Not sure what kind of day we will have tomorrow, will the storm be as bad as forecast?
