freezing cold at Brandon

Well the holiday period is over so I can get back to normal at last. Work has been very hectic but cant complain it keeps the boss off me.I managed a trip to Brandon on Monday only to find a tiny strip of water with about 100 birds squabling to get on to it. It was early morning and some fantastic light so off came the long lens and on came the short lens. Got quite a few landscape pictures but no birds im afraid. There was not much about at all or so it seemed and then I met Kevin Grewcock (the birding medic) in the carlton hide, I have been following his blog for ages so it was great to meet him. As we sat in the hide he picked out numerous birds singing, a Jay flying and he had spotted quite a few birds in the woods. Just shows how much skill and experience counts in this game - One day Kev I will get there, but I am enjoying the journey. Im really looking forward to the year ahead particularly after seeing the venues Nuneaton bird club have lined up. Anyway no birds but a couple of landscape pics
