My customary New Year's Day walk from home via Chawton and Farringdon and back via King's Pond revealed a total of 56 species of bird. Nothing particularly unexpected but 4 species of gull were found - Black-headed, Lesser Black-Backed, Herring and Common Gulls.
This Winter Moth was in the Chawton subway
The day was cold, grey and misty. The hoar frost persisted till beyond midday which created some interesting shapes on the various seed-heads.
Umbellifers...
Dock...
Old Man's Beard...
Teasels...
And grasses such as this which I think is Tufted Hair Grass
