February

On the 3rd I lead a small group from the Watford RSPB around a snowy and icy Cassiobury Park. The usual fair was seen including R-N Parakeets and drumming Great-Spotted Woodpeckers but on the cress beds near the fishing lake I finally saw a new species for me in the park in the shape of 2 Little Grebes. Alongside these were at least 3 Water Rails, 3 Male Teal and a handsome Kingfisher. But the best bird was saved till last with a brief Meadow Pipit that looked bemused on the snow before flying off over gardens!!
