Well, while the car's been unavailable I've re-acquainted myself with parts of Colyton I've been neglecting. It's amazing how Spring seems to arrive in January, with several species of birds singing and Daffs, Snowdrops and Hazel catkins already on show.

We seem to have loads of Chaffinches everywhere and no shortage of Green and Goldfinches. Sidmouth rd. Cem. has also yielded Bullfinch. Along Ridgway I came across 2 Nuthatches and several Redwings. Down by the Umborne brook were Fieldfares and Mipits plus 30 Little Egrets in one field ( what are they feeding on? ). Tawny Owls are still around but the Little Owls have clearly dispersed. Let's hope they return to breed again.We still have some Black redstarts in Seaton and Beer though...

A walk along the Coly as far as Colyford surprisingly failed to produce Dipper. Oh well, at least there were thrushes about...

Let's hope the coming weather brings birds in!
