A wonderful bright, sunny and cold day with the snow crisp on the ground.
I checked the Flood Meadows in the hope of finding a Water Rail but no luck. However some compensation with this Kingfisher in the dark under the trees.
Tracks and trails in the snow. Bunnies, dog and a pheasant...
Bunny prints are "2 across and 2 in-line". With the across prints being the hind legs.
This I took to be a Bunny running... I couldn't work out which way this was going - perhaps away from me with the rear legs overtaking the front legs.
Mole hills
Kestrel...
Different take-off techniques. Blackbird: jump and then open wings...
Mallard: open wings first :
Pied Wagtail and Meadow Pipit feeding where an upwelling of water had melted the snow...
Windmill Hill from Kiln House
Two different Mistle Thrushes...
