Sawbridgeworth 18th Jan

A morning walk round the patch. Write up with "atmospheric" photos here.

Patch record number of Cormorants.

Of note:
Little Owl - 1 in same field as last year.
Meadow Pipit - 1 in usual rough field.
Cormorant. a max of 13. A record number for the patch. Not good as the patch cannot support this number. They were flying around a lot - I assume the more regular places are frozen over.
Great spotted Woodpecker drumming!

pm - a Little Egret in the stream by Southbrook. It fished away quite happily despite my standing only twenty yards away.
