Above - This Buzzard looked huddled up in the cold just along from our house...
Above - Looking west towards Seaton House. The stubble on the right is where the Lap Bunts were the other week...
Above - Quite a few Reed Buntings were still about with at least a dozen birds in this flock along with Greenfinches, Tree Sparrows and Yellowhammers.
Above -This red roofed house is on the roadside between Boulmer village and Seaton Point. Roughly in the middle of the south end of the patch you can see some of the farmland habitat I watch...
Above - The thick hoar frost soon melted in the rising sun...
Above - These Lapwings were part of about 40 or so that flew west from the rocks on the coast. We dont get too many here really. 40 is not a bad number.
Above - We do get a lot of these. Bait Diggers. pushing the waders off much needed food during the cold spell. One or two wouldnt be bad but I've seen up to 50 here working in commercial squadrons in the dark wearing headlamps!

Stewart, as you trudged through thick frost with a healthy 'zing' in the air, us down south had dreary grey skies, a dank chill and the feeling that it was getting dark soon after midday. Bloody miserable.
Sorry to hear that Steve. Don't worry, when your spring migrants are arriving I'll still be looking at Glaucs...
