Anglesey Abbey and Fen Drayton

Went to Anglesey Abbey with the family at midday. Snowdrops and Winter Acconites were out. Took a few photos despite not having an appropriate lens with me.

Windy and blustery later, which is never good for Fowlmere, so decided to drive to Fen Drayton for the last few hours before dusk. Usual fare, which included a couple of Cetti’s Warblers heard, a Barn Owl, and a good number (50+) of Goldeneye.

 

At home, the Long-tailed Tit that was tapping on the window, exactly a year ago today, was back doing the same thing!
