If it was the full moon, it was one which hasn't yet reached Dacres Wood. Alternatively, I wonder if the mallards, which may be settling, are feeding off it. Meanwhile, a bump here for our bird walk Sunday March 13th, starting at the reserve at 7.30, then going into Mayow Park, and finishing back at the Field Studies centre, where there are kettles to make some hot drings. Welcome to join us any time - I'll be tweeting from @dacreswood with #dacresmayowbirds to say what we see, and where we are.

Pretty sure to see Goldcrest. This silhouette is as good as I could get with my camera today,



but a birder tells me it's good enough for identification.

My cat likes something a little bit more tangible
