@RoseNewbold Cracking shots Rose, no need to worry after all then.

Lovely light at Bramfield churchyard yesterday. Keep an eye out for firecrest. A few people including myself had very quick views of one.

RSPB Ouse Fen Earith end on Monday this week. Must go again soon.

Bramfields finest today.

Holwell shorties cheering up a cold, murky day.

Plenty of brambling about at B658 to Broom junction area yesterday. Park at yellow dots favoured trees in red dots. Massive amounts of mixed birds to the west of the B658.

Yellow-browed warbler at Verulamium park Thurs 9th Jan. What a fast but obliging bird. My neck is still aching.

A few from Ice Station Bramfield churchyard yesterday. Happy days with @allan_burrows and @TraceyBurrows13 @Hertsbirds

@allan_burrows Great shots Allan. Always nice to bump into you and Tracey. You didn't miss much except the temperature dropping even lower bbrrrr

@SJR_Herts Bless you my son. I'm getting withdrawal symptoms, haven't been down there for 3 days lol.

Something a bit different. At least 3 at Bramfield churchyard yesterday, nice. With @Hertsbirder and @terrytwitcher

Bramfield churchyard today, more fun trying to snap the residents with @RoseNewbold and @DaveNewbold5 Just the single bird.

@Mart_the_Gooner Nice one Mart, good to hear that more birds are about.

@RoseNewbold Thanks Rose, it's been a while.

@Mart_the_Gooner Hi Mart, nice to see you out as well

Nice to see the obliging juvenile red-backed shrike at Houghton Regis yesterday.

This year's crusade for Brown hairstreaks has sadly come to an end, with visits to Ruislip, Merry Hill & RSPB Otmoor. It's been slow but rewarding. All photos taken at Ruislip (Stafford Road Open Space).

@Britnatureguide Red X marks the spot. You'll see a cut on the right hand side marked for "spots" 1 and 2. Take wellies etc. Good luck.
