A little snow!


Overcast, 4cm of snow on the ground though thawing, 1º, light SE.

Blackbirds again dominating the garden with 10+, also a Song Thrush and 2 Mistle Thrush, also 2 Green and 2 Great-spotted Woodpeckers (1 drumming) present on and off. A single Starling visited today, the first for a while.

2 female Blackcaps visiting the feeders most of the day. 4 Mallards visiting another area of the garden closer to the brook. Plus the usual supporting cast.

Fieldfares and Redwing seen flying over but not visiting garden, 30 species seen in or from garden today.

Tawny Owls out in garden tonight and vocal!

I guess the Lapwings seen yesterday were moving through ahead of the snow.
