Another month spent in LockDown - so instead of wandering the Austrian mountains in search of strudel (February last year) or the Shetland beaches in search of whales (February most years), I got to spend another four weeks in search of snowdrops around the paths of Headington.
So, by the numbers
- Reporting Days: 28
- Location: Oxford
- Miles Walked: 92 (it was a short month)
- Miles Driven: 120 (well, there is a LockDown On)
- Gardens Tended: 1
- Puffins Seen: None - but lots of sparrows, starlings, magpies and red kites - plus the occasional jay, dunnock, jackdaw, blackcap and goldfinch
- Photographs Taken: Dozens (mostly muddy paths)
- Vaccinations Received: None :-(

Frog Action in the Lye Valley |
It would be good to think that it might be possible to go somewhere before the end of March - but I fear that a little more patience might be required.
