06/12/2010 Cannock Chase

This morning the bird group met on Cannock Chase to look for Waxwings, Hawfinch, Great Grey Shrike etc.  When I left home just a few miles form the Chase it was thick freezing fog, I thought we won't see anything in this! but when I reached the Whitehouse car park the sun was shining and there were blue skies, (see photo)

though other areas of the Chase we visited were still shrouded in thick fog. We had no sightings of the birds we had hoped to see, but we did see Blackbird, Raven, Crow, Magpie, Jay, Redwing, Fieldfare, Bullfinch, Coal Tit, Blue Tit, Great Tit, Stock Dove, Wood Pigeon, Robin, Buzzard, Chaffinch, Rook, Greenfinch.  After a hot drink I drove home again in thick freezing fog!!
