It was -7 at Snodland first thing,later heavy snow fell.

I heard that Gerry Warne had a good day on Friday.He saw a redhead Smew on Brookland,a Firecrest in the Oaks along the southern end of Abbey Mead and a flock of Waxwings which I believe he saw as flyovers.

I had a short visit to the area this morning,but the only bird of note I saw was a Bittern that flew up from Brookland lake.

All the lakes are now frozen over apart from a few small open areas on some of the larger lakes.
