Walked past Lee Dam, down to the canal tow path and up through Shaw Wood this afternoon. Nothing at Lee Dam as the water is still frozen, and not much in the valley either apart form a Grey Heron over the river, but when I got to Shaw Wood the place seemed to be alive with birds all over the place. They were obviously enjoying the relative warmth of 0 to 1 degree temperatures!
A Treecreeper was flitting about in Shaw Wood and towards the top of the wood there were 2 Great Spotted Woodpeckers and about 20 Long Tailed Tits together with Blue, Great and Coal so I checked for Nuthatch as they usually accompany flocks of Tits, and sure enough there was one as I hoped. A Little Owl flew up from the ground and landed on a low branch at the edge of the wood and perched there for a few minutes so I had good a good view until it flew off over the fields.
