December

The first month of winter saw a frost on 2nd December. Local house sparrows have been missing from the green space behind the Long Beach Road car park but the overnight frost brought them back to the relative warmth of the suburbs.

Leaf cover in the Willsbridge reserve is dropping rapidly now and the woodland birds are getting easier to see. They're still quite shy as food sources are still plentiful away from the footpaths. A song thrush was singing near the reserve on 2nd December.
