A photo blog...

Although it has been the first sunny day for a while, the patch was generally quiet. Mind you, that could be my fault as I was just moseying around and didnt even get to look at the sea! I suppose the highlight was a Woodcock that flushed when I almost trod on it in the wood...

The woods were a sea of Snowdrops. 
11 Herons were beginning to get territorial at the pond.
Some colour in the woods. I've no idea what these are but they mustn't taste too good.
Keeping hidden...
A male Goldcrest singing while feeding.

As was this male Great Tit.

A 7-spot Ladybird on what I think is Male Fern?
 
Small Tortoiseshell dormant only 3 inches from where I placed it on 30th November.

"I've no idea what these are but they mustn't taste too good" - a species of Viburnum, probably Viburnum opulus, though a non-native species escaped from Howick Gardens is possible.
