( 3.1 / 221 )A very wintery scene in the Manmoel area today with a penetrating frost and bitterly cold wind.
Numbers of Chaffinch in the area seem to be increasing but no sign of the Bramblings yet.
Main sighting today was a very brave Buzzard that stuck around long enough for me to point the camera at him. Shame the light wasn't better as at this range the pictures could of been excellent.
Also around were Mistle Thrushes and Redwing but too cold to chase them so this was the best picture I got...
Happy New Year 2009 everyone! :)
