One of those days that occur at this time of the year where it stays cold and misty all day. Probably because the Letchworth and District Astronomical Society is holding a public observing evening tonight.
Have not been out birding today, just stayed in the warm taking part in the Norfolk Ornithological Association Winter Garden Bird Survey. Nothing unusual so far, a maximum of eight Starlings, eight House Sparrows and six Goldfinch, plus a few of the other regular species.
Having spent the last two weekends in the Royston area I have realised that I have only been birding there twice-once in a failed attempt at finding a Ring Ousel about twelve years ago, and more recently in mid October for a long staying juvenile Red Backed Shrike.
This bird was photographed on October 13th with the 300mm vr lens and a TC17 converter hand held. As it favoured a small copse adjacent to several paths used by walkers it proved to be very approachable.

Nice photo Phil. Keep up the good work. Nikon rules.
