The price of petrol and the weather has made our random birding trips more considered.
When Pam discovered that the Man U/Spurs game was on at tea-time, not lunch-time, a woodland birding trip was mooted. Despite it being lunch-time, Felbrigg woods came up with Nuthatch for both of us, a Great Spotted Woodpecker for me (Pam saw one at the Hughes's) and a Treecreeper for Pam.
Gunton Lake added a Great Crested Grebe, at last, and we arrived home to find a female Siskin feeding on the niger seed.
My main aim in Jan is to see birds which become more difficult - usually winter migrants. We shall try again for Greater White-fronted Goose on the way to lunch with friends to-morrow. Titchwell (Velvet Scoter) and Lyndford (Hawfinch) are also planned for the next week or so.
My pager has appalling reception at home, worse than usual to-day. Very galling to discover that someone saw Waxwings in N Walsham Sainsbury's car park this morning......
