After a breakfast at the local Farmers' Market I had a quick wander around the north of the parish. Not much about at all: 7 lesser black backed gulls over, 7 tufted duck on the lagoon and plenty of pheasant over the fields. No hoped for winter thrushes, but a few skylarks heading east and over 150 wood pigeon.
However, a white deer, presumably fallow, sprinted across a field some distance away, so just record shots here.

First white deer I have seen locally.
At the moth trap an extremely late straw dot, along with 2 red-green carpets, a feathered thorn and a common marbled carpet.
