Winter walks

With the continued good weather (yes, it's a bit chilly!) and volunteering not re-started yet, I've been doing some local walks. This is the view north-west from Big Wood, part of Bestwood Country Park. The building in the mid-distance is the Winding House, part of the old Bestwood Pit. Like many of Nottinghamshire's country parks, this one is partly based on an old colliery site and pit tip. And part of Sherwood Forest.
The chimneys in the background are at an old brickworks over near the M1. I fancy a walk over there to have a look at them close up.
Had a good sighting of a female Goldcrest picking over dead Willowherbs near Mill Lakes, and saw what I think were a crowd of Siskins in Alder trees, and a group of Linnets in a field near Bestwood Village. Then walked back to Sherwood via the Colliery Path into Arnold.
