Gents,

JRT,

It will be a few months yet I fear before I visit the lakeside again. We have a nice clear frosty day with only a light breeze to stir the plastic bag hanging from a tree nearby, but too cold for my years now. Time was when I would have been down there without fail. Nowadays I have to keep on moving and be well wrapped up - which makes birding a better option in the winter months.

Still, it won't be long before we have turned the corner and can look forward to the summer months, for what they are worth here in Derbyshire.
