Robin Influx.....

0930 - 1150 cold, clear, bright, sunny

....but there certainly wasn't too much warmth in the sun....though what there was was most welcome....

I came across a 'flock' of about 10 Robins at the quarry area, which seemed a bit strange.....I had already noticed a few Robins around....all along the track there were Robins....an influx from somewhere....there were also a few Blackbirds around to...maybe a cold snap on the continent had brought them across...and I have already read someone had more than usual at Samphire Hoe today...
