Bitter!

A walk around Strumpshaw this morning left me with frozen hands (despite thermal gloves!)
I met Adrian & Nigel in Fen Hide, who'd just seen a ringtail harrier and four otters: I'd seen only a Buzzard....
As I walked towards the windpump, the ringtail Hen Harrier flew eastwards on the far riverbank: a welcome bird on an otherwise fruitless day!
