It is the first proper cold snap of the year so far and there have been a few heavy frosts on the courses. I have seen a few winter migrants arriving, Redwings and Fieldfares have flown overhead but I haven't seen any on the fairways yet.
The pair of Stonechats have been pretty evident on the Red and Blue course, particularly on the 11th Blue. Today they were on the waste ground to the left of the 3rd Red.

I was interested to note that the tree holding the hornets nest on the 4th Blue had blown over. You can see how much the hornets had hollowed out the trunk, leading to its weakening and ultimate demise..
Look out for this cluster of Puffballs next to the 10th tee on the Blue. I think that they are Stump Puffballs.
