Managed to get out this afternoon when the rain eased, walking from home to Ogmore via Merthyr Mawr and then back across Ewenny Moor – 8 miles, 55 species. Nothing unexpected, but nice to see Goldeneye on the Ogmore now up to 27, four Little Egrets near the Watermill, Treecreeper near Island Farm and two Reed Buntings in my garden.
Think I’m going to struggle to get near last year’s January walking from home total of 103, but I’m already feeling virtuous!
