A 2hour wander from Tescos to Hadham Hall and then back to The Ford was the order of the day. The highlight was coming across 2 large parties of wintering skylarks. One, near East Wood numbered in excess of 25 whilst the second group on a field east of Hadham Hall was more than twice the size. The largest group recorded in the parish so far.
Other birds were 11 common gulls behind the village school, 2 mistle thrush, 2 greenfinch (the first sightings for quite a while) 1 linnet and 1 pied wagtail.
The Hadham Hall large lagoon was devoid of birds whereas the other ponds held moorhen and mallard only.
29 species in all for the 2 hours. A strange sight for December was coming across a solitary 7 spot ladybird!
Today's attached photos show ashaggy parasol fungi, the pound coin giving an indication of size. Also, a view from near The Ford looking towards St Cecilia's church, Little Hadham and one of the more exotic mammals found around the village.
