FEBRUARY FOOTSLOG

Once again another month has raced by, seen off by the Beast from the East.Here in Dover snowfall has been limited to a few flurries of light white dust whereas other parts of the county have been brought to a standstill.
I have once again been out and about and here are a few photos from my travels this month.

 Another trip to Godmersham for the Hawfinches,but only this single female was seen.
