December

Seemingly endless grey skies, cold weather and other commitments have limited my visits to the Willsbridge reserve so far this December. I have noticed one or two redwings in the vicinity so these winter visiting members of the thrush family should be looked out for near St Anne's Church and around the Long Beach Road car park. Last winter saw an influx of hawfinches to St Anne's churchyard which are locally quite rare, so I've been watching out to see if they return.

Since this is the run up to Christmas, may I wish all AWT members, staff and volunteers a very merry Christmas and best wishes for 2010. Above is a seasonal winter robin that I took in the snow last February to get you in the mood.

A couple of showers failed to dampen enthusiasm for the 2009 annual tree dressing event at Willsbridge on 6th December.
