Yet another walk from the dam with fresh snow underfoot and a blue sky above brought just two coal tits and a great tit in the plantation, and 3+ reed buntings, one stonechat, one meadow pipit, and one robin in the messy little bay near the road. Various stems and stalks and sticks made it difficult to focus on the birds, but I managed slightly better pics than yesterday.
I spent some time watching and snapping the buntings because it's only by scrutinising them that I'll recognise a little or rustic bunting if I'm ever lucky enough to find one.
