It’s been quiet this wk at Watermead whilst patiently waiting for the first early migrants, but on 01/03 a nice surprise was the BLACK SWAN from Startops Reservoir (about 8 miles away as the swan flies) arriving with 2 Mute Swans…

Our wheel experiment attracted a few woodland visitors, with mice, red squirrels and even a pine marten stopping by to check it out... But Chris definitely gave it the most effort! 🛞 🏃♂️

Anthony Williams’ great vid of a stag roaring in the snow!
“The beautiful red deer are hard to miss in the blanket of white snow that engulfs the winter landscape. If you can’t see them straight away you will definitely hear the stags roar. Just don’t get too close”

Wow! Check out this amazing vid sent in by Debbie Lawson of a kingfisher hovering & diving for prey! 🐟
Kingfishers dive at speeds of up to 25mph, & strike their prey with excellent precision! Not only are they beautiful birds, they are highly skilled hunters too!

Check out these ice skating ducks 🦆🧊
We love this video sent into us by Roslyn Smith taken at Doune Ponds Nature Reserve, Stirlingshire. While some ducks waddle across the ice, others skid right across it!
Keep your photos & vids coming into us.

The wonderful wren 🐦🪶❄️
Despite their tiny size (weighing the same as an old £1 coin! 🥹) their song is mighty! Whilst they sing amongst the hedgerow they can be heard from hundreds of metres away! Listen out for them on your winter walks 🎶
