A break at last.....

With a break in the weather and the chance to get out without being blown over , I made it round the local patch..I have been keeping a close eye on an area of  shallow water with a few bits of juncus since November hoping for jack/snipe and had nothing except a Song Thrush for my effort . So today when I flushed a Woodcock form this area , it was very pleasing....not had one for a  year or so  in Northowram. On the 7th the first Skylark of the year , Green Woodpecker and 3 Buzzards.
