Managed to squeeze in a short walk along the Cart near the house. Plenty of birds were about, despite the bitter cold. Goldfinch, Greenfinch, Wren, Dunnock and Blackbird were all singing. At least eight Fieldfares and at least four Song Thrushes were feeding on Rosshall School playing field. A pair of Goosanders and two pairs of Mallards were on the river. A Stock Dove exploded from the woods at Rosshall Park.
