Having the day off work, and the morning being so glorious, a walk across the boardwalk seemed essential. It had been cold overnight, and the first frost of the season was still lying on the shaded sections of the boardwalk. Not much wildlife to report, but I did find a female reed bunting on the reedbed. Walking down Bradfield Road my attention was drawn to what sounded like a duck in the undergrowth, but it turned out to be a couple of cock pheasants having a set-to.
As I was taking a look at Scouts' Pond, which was slightly fuller as a result of yesterday's rain, a flock of about 20 fieldfares flew overhead. These were my first for the season, and all the more satisfying for that.
