We had many days of snowing and freezing temperatures which was days on end of misery which ended up a day of getting some very sad and distressing news. It was pretty bad and still is .. something else for my corruption blog in time I guess?
I was about fit to burst .. or throw myself under a bus and had to get out. My brother said he wanted to go to a place where a Little Bunting had been spotted. He had also said there were reports of Scaup and Goldeneye ducks and at first I decided I was not going. But then I changed my mind ..
I did decide to only take my Nikon P900 .. but I am going back today with the Sony A99 II and a couple lenses and a monopod!
This is why ..
There was indeed a Scaup ..
You can see a higher resolution picture and others on my Flickr account..

Oh and there was a Goldeneye .. or two ..
See Higher res pictures and leave a like at ..
There were also Linnets .. though when they flew away we could have sworn we see a greenish yellow colour and thought they were Siskins .. until we got back and took one look at the pictures ..
I thought the day was already a result when the first things I saw and filmed, ooh fils to all the above .. below, a Goldcrest ..
Here are a few videos ..
