catch up from early feb

Havent been able to post for a while so this is just brief highlights of last six weeks which havent already been posted.
2 Raven over Newbridge 9th Feb and calling bird same place on 19th
Kingfisher and Great Tit imitating Marsh Tit at Wightwick Mill Lock on 11th Feb (note this is exactly where I saw my last Marsh Tit in the valley
Peregrine over Oxley bank on 18th Feb
also 4 Jays together at Aldersley
5+ Siskin on 20th Feb where old railway goes over Smestow near Hordern Rd and then regular sightings well into March of presumably the same group in the same vicinity. (on 23rd at Aldersley junction 5 more may have been different)
Also on 20th feb 5 Goldcrest in the Hawthorn wood to Aldersley junction
And then we went into a sterile period as the cold returned and only today have noted increased activity including Rooks at Water Bridge copse.
