Montpelier Station!
The sub-zero temperatures seem to have encouraged some bird activity this morning, with singing Dunnock and Goldfinch plus half a dozen Chaffinches and a couple of Starlings near the feeders and a splendid male Blackcap who perched on a branch for several seconds but unfortunately my camera was in my bag and I couldn't photograph him.

Fox on the tracks!
A Fox was wandering along the tracks near the tunnel at Montpelier Station this morning. As it was raining I didn't bring my camera so was unable to shoot it. The fox has been photographed by other local people and shared on Facebook in recent days.

Narroways!
A couple of hours on Narroways Nature Reserve this morning produced a Grey Wagtail on the brook and 6 Long-tailed Tits and a Goldcrest in Ash Wood - very quiet, but Blue and Great Tits, Wrens, Dunnocks, Robins and Blackbirds a-plenty.. Lesser Celandines were in flower along the brook at Boiling Wells, plus Male and Hart's Tongue Ferns.
