Snow on Cheviot...
A crystal clear frosty morning greeted us in the hills west of Alnwick this morning. We were looking for our own Rough legged Buzzard, but it wasn't to be.
Highlight up here in this remote area were, yep, you guessed it, 14 Waxwings flying west from a lone rowan.
Raven was heard but unseen, and a couple of Roe Deer looked nice in the sunshine...
This afternoon a walk around the woods at home was quite nice with 3+ Bramblings, 6 Bullfinch, 8 Siskin, 1 Jay, 2 Buzzard and a Kingfisher flying over the pond...
At home I took what I think is my best photo to date -
Common Wasp
This looks like a posed shot, but its just a huge female sitting on the top of a wine bottle in front of our recycling bin! Taken just as found...(Click for a better look)
