Edderthorpe, Monday am.
A raven flew south west   calling over Storrs mill bridge at 8 .10 this morning. Water levels on the flash will take another few days to get back to normal, there's still a good flow to the river.
Winter thrush arrived on Cudworth common tip yesterday, with 30 Mistle thrush and 6 redwing.  On the flash other than a few snipe, 30 Goldies and about 300 lapwing, (1 Ruff) tempted over from Houghton, things are still very quiet.

  A surprise find a few days ago was a dead Harvest mouse on my lawn, possibly killed by a cat, the wheat field next to the house has recently been harvested.
