Wednesday 19th December

Perhaps the coldest ride in 2007! It took me an hour to warm up when I got home. Even the mud was frozen, one unfortunate Redshank and a few ducks were picking at the water edges. 'Flu struck me over last weekend, so a cold ride was probably not a good idea.

This time last week I went on my first walk with the local Ramblers - a short circuit at the south end of Chew Valley Lake. The lake is well stocked with water fowl of all shapes and sizes; there was nothing unusual so far as I could see, however by the Litton Upper Reservoir, on the water race, I spotted a Grey Wagtail.
