At Ivy South, Cetti's Warbler singing very close to path and showing briefly, a distant Water Rail calling, a Kingfisher heard a few times and then two Great White Egrets circling briefly between Ivy South and North hides, Walter plus a new unringed bird.
A Sparrowhawk rose up to intercept one of five Buzzards and a Peregrine stooped rapidly to the south.
Feeders mostly empty but Siskins calling up in trees.
Stopped very briefly at Piper's Wait but too cold and 'bird-silent' to stay; a nice sunlit Red Kite popped up just as I returned to the car. Brook road shut so long detour back to motorway via Blashford!!
