We are staying in Frensham, Surrey for the weekend visiting my son James, his lovely wife Naz and our two grandchildren, Easa and Noah. A cold but dry morning enticed us out for a morning walk on the local common we were looking for the over-wintering Great Grey Shrike.

I needed to get PURPLE SANDPIPER on my year list, so with a lovely sunny morning we decided to go for a walk along the sea-front at Lyme Regis.

The weather forecast looked good, unbroken sunshine but cold - in reality it was quite cloudy and very cold with a North Westerly wind. As usual the levels were flooded and covered in birds, whereever you looked huge flocks of ducks, geese and lapwings could be seen.
