Snow

Heavy snowfall overnight, so couldn’t get in to Cambridge. Worked at home in the morning but set up the camera for Tom who took several images of Blackbirds, this one being our best shot in my opinion:

Later we both went to Fowlmere to to look for footprints. However, it started snowing again and so most were covered. We did find a few of both Fallow Deer and Muntjac, as well as this mustalid track.

Bird-wise it was better than normal: Three Snipe flying around looking for unfrozen water, a Barn Owl (poor record shot in dim light below!), a Chiffchaff calling, and seventeen Grey Partridges, as well as seven Teal and a male Gadwall.
