I avoided the mud along Quy Water today by running along the road route to Bottisham and Lode then continued out to the end of White Fen drove. Weather was dry but a little cooler than the last few days. 9 miles in 1 hour 21'16".

A Great Spotted Woodpecker was in the trees along Lode Road, Bottisham. 6 Moorhens seen along Bottisham Lode and a Kestrel. There were 3 or 4 Roe Deer in the field to the North of Fen Road. A flock of Yellowhammers were in the bushes at the start of White Fen Drove.

A Green Woodpecker and a Mistle Thrush were seen in the Lodestar field and a Buzzard flew into a tree here.

Again several Blackbirds and Fieldfares seen as well as Blue, Great and Long-Tailed Tits, Chaffinches and Goldfinches.
