A wander through good snow along the Ridge path to Bush Wood, Winding Hill, Much Hadham post office and then returning along the River Ash. Light was poor, but views were superb with new covering of 6 inches plus of crisp snow. Not many birds about, with gold, green and chaffinches utilising the nut feeder in the garden. A moorhen was recorded along a ditch and a kingfisher was heard at Winding Hill. A pale morph common buzzard was observed near Ash Valley golf course and many yellowhammers noted. A superb male bullfinch was photographed along the ridge, but poor light led to a disappointing photo. Several gulls, both great and lesser black backed, headed north. A grey wagtail was seen at the Ford whilst a confiding pied wagtail was recorded in the garden.
Photos today show the garden at 6.45am, the River Ash looking south at The Ford, Brick Kiln Hill activity, a view towards Bush Wood on the ridge path and the goldfinches on the garden feeder
