#11. Common Redpoll - couple. I didn't see any at last year, but 2 years ago plenty of those and few Arctic too. I do not mind the latter...
It's really been quite chilly here. I only hope that we get more snow here. Just a 10 or maybe 15 cm now (4 - 6 inch).

20. Ruffed Grouse - the bird was sitting and a was spooked when I walked by. Wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Haven't seen many so far on the new property.

Presume a Eurasian Wren . . . Winter Wren [Troglodytes hiemalis] would be an Old World first

Four more for the garden list the last couple of days, taking me to 20:
17. Bullfinch - a female has visited the ornamental cherry tree every day this week to feed on the small buds
18. Goldfinch - once upon a time, was an almost ever-present visitor to my feeders, but a rare sight in the garden these days; one flew over calling, yesterday
19. Grey Heron - presume the cold snap has caused its nearby habitat to freeze over, so was on the neighbours roof eying up his fish pond!
20. Collared Dove - hanging around the feeders this afternoon

Bah humbug
You'll be in your shorts then Dan?
Nope. Damp cold, plus it's been milder than that most of the time.
Down in France atm, Hawfinch just now briefly too.

A few additions:-
Yesterday
24 - Jackdaw - a common local resident often flying over or on house roofs
25 - Raven - the local pair engaged in some nice territorial 'mirror' flighting over the adjacent fields though short of full display
Today
26 - Grey Wagtail - the local wintering first-winter on the actual roof rather than the usual flyover
27 - Sparrowhawk - the local hunting female flew through
28 - Cormorant - flying down the adjacent channel
All the best

Bit miffed that my two "blue chips"(Hawfinch/Fcrst.) have not been seen this year so far H, although the latter can be found outback after a bit of due diligence and luck.
