A freezing cold start to the day. It was very foggy and we could not see the weir from the top of the Peacock Tower. I was supposed to 'phone 'Stoney' (good mate) but figured that he would be wasting his time if he came to the Centre today. Sue and myself arrived first as Leon had to work this morning. He turned up later with Tim (another mate) and his granddaughter. Only the Coots were out and about to start with. As the day warmed up lots more birds decided to show up. Sue went off to take her photographs (about 200 again!) and came up to the tower to join me later on. After about three hours of watching we retired to the rugby club.
Although sunny it remained very cold and we were chilled right through. Must get some small flasks for tea/coffee. Obviously the voles were hibernating!
