A fair weather morning but still very cold even in the sun. Woodpigeons were the winners today with small groups, pairs and singles going east throughout... otherwise apart from a single skein of pinks > NW very little in the skies. Skylarks have crashed and it was noteable that small gulls (many fewer) were all going north today.
