2 Fieldfare came out of roost in the tamarisk and what is presumably the same Stock Dove that we have been seeing lately was again on site. 36 Brent went out then north as did a single Curlew but as Curlew start arriving back on their breeding grounds in the third week of February then this could be (say it quietly !) the start of spring passage. As what few birds of note we do have on site won't sit long enough to photo here's a pic of the wonderfully named Cramp Balls or King Alfreds' Cakes Daldinia concentrica - not a rare fungi but as the fungi site list is in it's infancy any thing is of interest.
