Well I hope all my blog readers (if there's any left!?) had a great Christmas. I had an amazing one in our new home. Sad that it is mostly over now - would you believe I am back to work today!!

It was pretty much the first time I'd been birding in the valley for about a month - seriously it's been THAT bad. And these two Bewick's Swans were opposite Axmouth Football club near Boshill Cross. These are the third and fourth Bewick's that I've seen on patch - we had (different) singles overwintering with the wintering Mute Swans 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. So I wonder if these are going to stay for the winter? Which brings me on to...
I have decided, seeing as I didn't year list this year, that if the (or one of the) Bewick's Swans remain until Jan 1st (and I see them!), then I will be doing a local patch year list in 2013. So, I've left it for the 'birding Gods' to decide...
