A Dreadful Sight!
At the railway bridge, just upriver from Hirst Wood today (Monday), the body of a Grey Heron was dangling from a tree. The bird had got caught in fishing line and its shoulder and head was surfing on the surface of the river. The condition of the head would suggest the bird died some time ago. I could not reach the body as the line came from two different branches on a tree overhanging the river. A very sorry spectacle.

Shipley Glen
On a bright, frosty morning there were still plenty of Jays in the Glen and three of them combined to flush a Sparrowhawk from its perch. At least six noisy Nuthatch called from various locations in marked contrast to a silent Treecreeper and a nice flock of 15 Long-tailed Tits.

Shipley Glen
A pleasant walk on a rare sunny morning produced only a limited number of birds, these included eight Jays, six of which were prominent in the Glen and another two made what has become a daily visit to an adjoining garden. Nuthatches were very active in three different places, a Grey Wagtail was feeding on the beck but the big surprise was the total absence of Herons. At this time of year, with the river swollen after heavy rains, there are likely to be roosting birds in two or three locations.
