A good day's birding yesterday at the Orchard Centre. 32 species. I guess the highlight was 6 Chiffchaffs. The first I've seen this year. This bitter cold seems to have kept them away. And who can blame them?

The 2 Mute Swans have built a nest and the female was on it. A couple of Canada Geese have also turned up . Teal and Mallards are still plentiful and there are good numbers of Fieldfare in the hedgerows still.
Lovely to see a pair of Bullfinches - my first this year.
A magnificent Red Fox crossed my path as I was exploring some of the smaller ponds. I should think he was a male judging by the size.
