Christmas Lunch & Coldest December Night Since 2010!

🥶 🥶 🥶 -7°c last night! ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆ ❆

I can't recall the last time it was THIS cold! Fog and a icy white-out all day. My car was completely white first thing this morning. I had a serious job trying to break the thick ice on the bird baths and had to get kettles of boiling water in the end – they were solid again by lunchtime! Lots of birds on my feeders, 7 Collared Doves at least, loads of Starlings, House Sparrows, Robins, Hedge Sparrows, Magpie and even three Muntjac deer had found their way into my patio area, clearing up after the birds!

Lucy, Vivien & Ray and I went to the Castle Rising Tea Rooms today, for a pre Christmas get together lunch. The particular table we had booked had been double booked, so even though we had sat down at our favourite corner table, we were asked to move, firstly by another family who had also booked it and then by a member of staff. We were moved to another table in the middle of another room, which I hate. The place was seriously cold and for me to say that, it must have been chilly! The food was nice, but some of it not hot and way too long a gap between main course and dessert. Sadly I won't be returning in the Winter time, the cold was the biggest downside. We were given a free drink for the double booking though, which was appreciated.

We all went back to mine for hot drinks and it didn't feel that much hotter at my house. Wickedly cold weather and I don't complain about the cold normally! I wasn't going to bother with Christmas decorations this year, but changed my mind and glad I did, as its made everything look sparkly and cheered my spirits!

RBA Weekly Round-Up 29th November to 5th December!

By Jon Dunn

Hume's Warbler at Brancaster!

HUME'S WARBLER

Brancaster, Norfolk

I finally got round to seeing the Hume's Warbler at Brancaster this afternoon. I have been very busy with all sorts of things over the last few weeks, so have not had much time for birding. This morning I was in the hairdressers for over three hours for the 'Christmas hair do' – whizzed home for quick lunch and then headed to Brancaster.

 

It was bitterly cold today, not that I'm complaining, I would rather be cold than hot, plus less tourists around! Parked up along Beach Road at Brancaster, crossed over by the toilet block to the seawall, walked south and then headed west along another path for a couple of hundred yards. There were three birders here, so knew I had got the right spot. The Hume's Warbler had quote 'just been showing before I arrived'. I waited. We heard it calling several times and had nano seconds of it flashing across from one willow to another. A birder who said he had been reading my blog for years (lovely to meet you) said 'you won't get a picture, its too quick......' He left and I stayed.

 

Patience paid off and I was also quick!😉 Ok, so my pictures won't win any prizes, but at this late hour in the day, I was very lucky to see it and to get some record shots! Mark G. had had a second bird shortly before I arrived! I can't do photography with gloves, so my hands were frozen, then it started to rain heavily, so I speed walked back to my car.

Hume's Warbler – Brancaster, Norfolk

 

 

I couldn't resist going to the beach, it was high tide and the sea was in turmoil and looked exciting. As I stood on the shore, foam dispersed across the sands in the bitter wind.  I felt like I was back on Shetland, it felt fabulous! I can't remember the last time I went to Brancaster beach, I avoid it like the plague because of the mass of dog walkers here, even worse than Wells and that's saying something! I felt so lucky, not a single dog in sight! Peace and tranquility – just the sound of the sea and wind! I returned to my car and put the heating on max, as I headed back to King's Lynn!

More pictures to be added
