Ventured out in freezing conditions to Little Horwood again. This small area is turning out to be surprisingly good for birdwatching considering it is fairly inoccuous looking: Just a few fields, and a small broad-leaved wood with a brook running through it. Fields are quite weedy however, and attract a few Finches and Yellowhammers.
Today's highlight was a Marsh Tit, seen well through the scope for a few minutes.
Great Spotted Woodpeckers were drumming and a Green Woodpecker called. I wonder if this area has an outside chance of Lesser Spotted Woodpecker, I live in hope!
Other birds seen include: Female Sparrowhawk, 17 Goldfinches, 29 Meadow Pipits, Coal Tit
