Temp 00°C to 07°C - a chilly start to a rather fine day, a light N/NE to start, moving round to W later on. Only the third day without precipitation since the 12th Jan 2026.
The editors of the ABR have received a good range of photographs for possible inclusion in the next ABR - thanks to all. But if you have some that have not been posted to me so far, it is not too late to send them now. E-mail address for photos is blacktgodwit@gmail.com Many thanks, Harvey RoseWhite-fronted Geese
