This run of cold weather has finally turned up something different in the garden.Two Blackcaps and singles of Chiffchaff and Goldcrest.
I was hoping the colder weather would have brought in more Reed Buntings,but numbers still remain the same at just 2-4 birds.All Finches remain scarce.

As for New Hythe,water bird numbers appear to be lower now,than during December.I did however see 6 Wigeon and a Green Sandpiper on the 5th !.

A red-head Smew was seen on Streamside lake on the January 25th.
