Frosty overnight, followed by a grey day.
The lamb pictured is the first to be born to one of the street sheep that frequent the village. You do have to slow down when you are driving about as they are very inclined to stroll out into the road just as traffic is approaching.
Very quiet on the bird watching front today. Several Song Thrushes were seen along with one Fieldfare and two Chaffinches feeding in the orchard that I pass when dog walking. The oak wood revealed about dozen Blackbirds, two Jays and a large number of Woodpigeons. A Buzzard soared over the tree tops in the Forest and two Greenfinches sang from the top of a large Leylandii hedge. Robins trilled their mournful winter song from numerous trees and bushes as I passed. House sparrows seemed to be very busy and Great and Blue Tits were also much in evidence.
