Bus trip

Caught the 6.54a.m. as usual from the Nags Head this morning. Handy bus route and sensible time. Whilst waiting, the regular Great Spotted woodie drummed from opposite and a green woodpecker called. Wood pigeons, jackdaws and rooks were airbourne in the bright, frosty light. Blackbirds, robins and the usual song thrush sang and were joined by great tits, chaffinches and a single goldfinch. A kestrel was observed from the bus at the junction of the A120 and Millfield Lane. However, away from the village patch, a good sighting was made in Dunmow Road, Stortford as I walked to work. This was in the form of 2 greylag geese, heading west at 7.20a.m. An unusual flyover sight for the town.
