The usual walk along the river was disrupted a little by unusually-large numbers of walkers. The immediate result was that some of the shier species such as Stock Dove, Song Thrush, Redwing and Greenfinch failed to show. A few Grey Squirrels are venturing out (now that the temperature has risen) but numbers are significantly lower than usual. A Buzzard flying over put up most of the gulls, corvids and pigeons in the area.
