Plan C

Plan A - Get some miles in on the mountainbike in preparation for this summer's Mountain Mayhem and Trans Wales enduro events. CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER.

Plan B - Visit my patch and record the habitat for the BTO's Breeding Bird Survey in preparation for my survey visits in spring. CANCELLED DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER.

Plan C - Sit in the hide at my local reserve, watching the swirling snow and see what turns up.

I converted this shot of Snipe to black and white due to the terrible purple fringing and graininess of the image taken at 48x magnification. It almost looks atmospheric!
