My mornig started at Countess weir in Exeter this morning. I was greeted by a Goldcrest calling in a Bramble hedge.The ship canal was completely frozen over. On the Exe, which was very low, a flock of Black heads were preening, some where starting to come into breeding plumage. Up river 2 Common Sandpipers were feeding along the frozen shoreline and a F Goosander was in the river. Also present were Stonechat, grey and pied wag, pipit sp and 2 snipe.
I walked to the Riverside cp but the was not much around, all the pond were frozen.
On my way home I stopped off to see if the Little Owls were out in Dunchidiock, there was one in the open, preening and watching the Wood pigs being twitchy. Redwing and Fieldfare a plenty.
