Tuesday, 30 December 2014. A Cold, Crisp Day at Fishers Green! Fishers Green, Cheshunt - 10th December, 14. Bright, sunny, clear skies. Cold wind. Fox; Grey Squirrel; Muntjac. It was a lovely, sunny day. Clear skies with a cold, biting wind. But I had my secret weapon on today, a lovely warm scarf. There was nothing much to be seen until I arrived at Friday Lake. Looking out I could see about 4 or 5 Great Crested Grebes. Swimming around; a lone female Pochard. And the usual Gulls. View from the Teal Hide.
