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...

| 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? |

"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.
