The most obliging birds today were clinging onto pine cones around the 16th on the Blue. Coal Tits are the smallest of the tits that I commonly see around the course. They are rather like miniature Great Tits, but are rather less colourful and have a distinctive white stripe on their nape - more obvious in the second photo.

Siskins and Crossbills were on good form in the sunshine.

Here is a female crossbill calling, then joined by some Siskins on the 4th Red.
Other birds/animals of note include:
3 Stock Doves feeding near the Blue practice area;
Several Skylarks singing over the fields to the left of the 2nd-6th on the Blue; and
Brown hare on the 1st Blue.
A couple more rather obscure flowers to add to the yearly list:

| Groundsel Senecio vulgaris [Driving Range] |
 |
| Common Chickweed Stellaria media [Driving Range] |
