At 2 o'clock this morning I had to pick Greger up from Maidenhead station, his train from Glasgow to Euston having been delayed. As I drove along the A4 near Magnet leisure centre, I saw what I thought were rats in the road; but as I got closer I realised they were birds. They were running/flapping across the road into the shrubbery on the verge - I think, blackbirds. Spooky.
A quick walk down the lower grounds early evening brought a treecreeper in the adjoining strip of woodland.
