North Buckinghamshire remains in the grip of some wintry weather, with temperatures well below freezing, and low cloud and fog adding to the gloomy mood. The prolonged period of ice and snow has made life even tougher for resident and migratory birds alike, but this does allow closer encounters than is usual. Whilst they concentrate on finding food, the presence of humans seems to become a secondary concern.

Lovely birds, especially the Snipe flying.
Thanks, Bob. I was trying to focus on a Fieldfare feeding in a hedgerow by the canal, when the Snipe flew by.
