Little Hadham Wander 13.03.13

A wander back along footpaths from the town to home this morning. Great light, slight breeze and freezing temperatures. Not too much on show, with a kestrel seen hunting over Brick Kiln Hill, a green woodpecker in Millfield Lane and usual tits, finches, corvids and dunnocks. A check on the River Ash in the village gave views of the pair of mallards that seem to have taken up residence but no sign of the recent grey wagtail. A bullfinch was heard near Plantings Wood whilst skylarks called from the sky and robins from the hedgerow. Although not many birds, a most pleasant wander.
