13th January 2012 – early frost then bright and sunny/calm

Summary – after several false starts the weather finally relented to allow the first exploratory visit to the course with the area around the clubhouse and the 17th and 18th holes the main focus of attention. Although the fairways held a few species and the hedgerow bordering Rakesmoor Lane provided the most diversity the highlights involved a Peregrine and Buzzard that soared over the course – both these are good local records.
