I'd arranged to meet Haydn (my ears) at NDC for an early attempt to see the wintering Willow Tit. I was chuffed to make it for 8.15 and I could see him as I pulled up. We made our way over the Bridge and headed towards the Platform. It was misty rather than foggy and was clearing slowly...

No wind which helped Haydn listen for the Bird. After around 15 minutes he picked it up and had a couple of quick glimpses, unfortunately I didn't get "on it". Maybe next time? As we returned over the Bridge we were talking about the recent Redpoll...and there it was...showing better than ever...
We headed for the Hide and the Carrs was now clear. Unfortunately it was still frozen solid despite the increase in temperature, so Birds present were still on the River and Bank. Haydn had to go around 10 and I lingered till 1. It was a steady session, I added 5 Species to the Year List, this Male Bullfinch being the pick...
A thaw soon hopefully...
Year List - 52 Species
