Prompted by the promise of fine weather, I put a picnic together, with the intention of spending the day at Whitemoor Haye, Staffs. However, I noted that some Waxwings had been seen a few hours previously at Kelham Bridge, near Ravenstone, Leics., so I decided to make a small diversion to here. On arrival, there was no evidence of the Waxwings - or of anything that might have attrected them here. However, my visit was made more than worthwhile by a Hen Harrier (ring-tail). I only got some grabbed, and very distant, 'record shots'. Although this place is local to me, I had never been here before, so I decided to have a short look round. A couple of Stonechat were seen, and from the hide, various tits, including Willow Tit were observed. The lake was frozen and a pair of MuteSwans were gingerly making their way across the ice.
