A new year and an update is in order after a particularly barren period borne of laziness rather than lack of action. The badgers have continued to come throughout the summer and into autumn. It's now about 8pm that there's a visit and usually it's just the one and it looks like it's Big Boy. We did have one night with three of them and one looked noticeably bigger than the other two so we assumed it was a male, female and a juvenile, but that's a guess. No more sign of the fox after those few sightings in late spring. Bird life in the back garden remains limited, most of the action happening out front with regular visits from the Jay, Starlings, Goldfinches and House Sparrows. The pond has been re-landscaped in an effort to eradicate the algae so we'll see what a clean pond does for wildlife.
Out for the new year's first wander and the first bird spotted for the 2015 list was a Turnstone at Poole Quay. Beyond that there were Blackheaded Gulls, Herring Gulls, Oystercatchers, Brent Goose and Pied Wagtail.
The new year's eve morning frost afforded the opportunity for frosted landscape photographs in Windsor.
Yes, I did get carried away.
