Mon 3rd Feb 20

I spent the first half of the morning walking the approach road wood and over the road, the birds seem to be finding their voices in the sunshine early on with Song Thrush, Robin, Dunnock, Blue & Gt. Tits all in song as was a very vocal Cetti's Warbler along the drainage ditch over the road.
