Monday 13th January

Back from a series of walks resulting from a weekend away at Malcolm's in Sheffield.  Did Amber Valley, Derwent Reservoir and the yellow trail at Mabie on returning here, though managed to get lost and make a massive detour.

Good to see that there are still a few kestrels patrolling the A1(M) along with many magpies. Malcolm saw his first siskin at Derwent, which was followed by a host of them (perhaps 40 - 50) feeding on the ground at Mabie.

We also complimeted each other's poor knowledge of trees to identify alders, larches and ashes.
