The photo shows a long-tailed tit with its feathers fluffed out to keep itself warm. In years gone by, long-tails were one of the first birds to suffer from the cold and they died in large numbers, in cold weather.
Recently, they have learned to come to bird feeders and they are faring much better.

THIS IS A RECORD OF A GUIDED WALK TO HALE DUCK DECOY, WITH PHOTOGRAPHS, BY PETER AND DIANE INNES, ON THE 14TH NOVEMBER 2009.
The group arrived at the access to the Decoy, with Rob, the ranger. Due to the muddy conditions, we had to enter the area from the road. The group was a mixed bunch but all were very interested in seeing the Decoy for the first time, especially the youngest member of the group, who was keen to use his new binoculars.

 September -- November
During early September, the information boards were finally erected,at various points on the site, and were well received by the general public. They provide useful and interesting facts about the site and have generated many comments. Around this time, over 100 goldfinches were feeding on the seeds of knapweed,on the pastures, and continued to do so until the fields were mown.

September ~ November
Canada goose numbers reached 1250, feeding on Hale Marsh, but soon diminished to just a couple of hundred. The decrease was possibly due to shooting, which took place on the marsh, in early September. On the 17th September, an early party of 24 pink footed geese were seen, flying east, over the decoy wood.
