Snow Patrol

Wednesday 24th January 2013 Another walk in the snow around the Caldecote area. A different route took in some marshy areas which produced 6 Common Snipe but not much else.Other birds included 4 Reed Buntings,Kestrel,4 Mallard and a few Moorhen. The only other creature of note was a Tortoise, at least I thought it was. Turned out to be a Rabbit. I'd heard a vast expanse of snow could make you see things, bit like a mirage in the desert but colder.
