Sunny but cold and windy. I had a quick walk around the Blue first thing followed by nine holes in the evening. I came across a couple of very tame Mistle Thrushes admiring my drive down the 7th. Some birds are a lot less wary in the summer - during the winter it was difficult to get close without them taking flight. There are quite a lot around the course at the moment - they are larger than Song Thrushes and always appear quite long-necked.

I saw another large thrush this morning - a Fieldfare on the 5th. This one is very late - most of the other winter thrushes disappeared very quickly some time in March.

On the far left of the 4th I found some Honesty, one of the more colourful weeds of rough ground.

I put a trail camera down besides the stream behind the 3rd Green. I was hoping to get images of Water Voles. I didn't get any, but an Otter did pass through:

Mostly though I got images of Brown Rats, which I guess is not surprising. Prioritising science over aesthetics, I have included a quick video:
