January 12th, 2016 - A quiet lunchtime walk

The sun's come out for my lunch time walk and along King's Meadow, the Bullfinches are showing well, but bolt out of sight before I can get any photos.  Three Redwings along the river are the first here this year and a Mistle Thrush is singing by the outflow.

My hopes that the Kestrel from the previous week will show up, are dashed, so I'm left to photograph the Robin, which obligingly sits up on some scrub and sings his heart out.

On my way back to work, three Great Black-backed Gulls fly over towards town - a nice year tick.
