As would be expected most targets missed but still enjoyable. It really was bizzare with bright blue skies and snow for some of the day.At first location searching for Lesser-spotted Woodpeckers, unfortunately no joy but did have 3+ Marsh Tits, 2 Bullfinches, 2 Great-spotted Woodpeckers and 2 Redwings.A search of two Golden Pheasant sites also failed to produce but I did have 2 Marsh Tits at the former and 2 Ruddy Ducks at the latter. Firecrests were much more obliging, with the first site producing 3 singing males (also drake Goosander flew over and 2 Goldcrests) and although they were quite tricky to see one eventually showed superbly. The second site checked held one singing male while the third was only checked briefly as it was late afternoon.Cheers,Connorp.s sorry about the head Penny hope its better now/soon!pps.
