What better place to spend the winter?
The Little Egrets seem to think it's fine here on the Riverside
Tuesday 10th December - a fine day after a frosty start and one Little Egret is enjoying the sun
perched on an Ash branch with a view of the river below.
The egret is silent and doesn't attract attention but has to listen to the loud winter calls of the nuthatches
now very active again in the nearby oaks.
The river is running clear, there's no wind and the river bank is alive with voices - song thrushes singing, nuthatches calling, squirrels cursing, starlings whistling and amongst them a few redwing can be heard.
Now, at last, the oaks are almost bare and Cowparsley shoots are appearing
from under the dry carpet of leaves.
