Winter looms

 The year is moving on, summer visitors have mostly gone and winte



r visitors have started to arrive. The local patch is much the same as it has been for a few weeks and is still stuck on 69. WOW is at last pulling in some birds and this week provided raven and grey wagtail. We also had a colour ringed godwit, but our excitement was muted when we discovered it was ringed at WOW in June this year. 

The most exciting news was a non bird event in the garden when the trail cam picked up a badger. I went out to check the hedgehog feeder and discovered it had been turned upside down so I suspected a fox or a badger. Fortunately the camera picked it up. It has to come in from the garden behind, but no idea where it came from as I do not know of a sett in this area. It was around 5.25 in the morning so it was a bit late getting here. Some pictures of WOW.
