Midwinter apathy

I'm struggling to find a shred of motivation, or dare I say it, interest even, for any local birding whatsoever at the moment. Maybe its the cold dark days? Maybe its living in one of the most birdless places on the planet? Whatever it is, I really could do with a rocket up my arse! Sadly, even a Little Egret flying over and adding itself to my garden list today failed to ignite, well, anything really!
