Halnaker in the snow

A lunchtime walk up on Halnaker hill in the thawing snow gave some stunning views and good photo opportunities. Plenty of active birds to be found: Chaffinches, a pair of Willow Tits, a flock of about 10 Skylarks with a single Yellowhammer in tow, a flock of 22 Goldfinches, Kestrel, Blackbirds, Robins, Crows and on the way back a Great Spotted Woodpecker giving away its location at the top of an oak tree with a repeated alarm call.

Some footprints that need identifying, the one on the left being just under 10 inches end-to-end.
