Frosty Day

Another bitterly cold night with the temperature dropping to –5C.

Frosty Back Garden

With a dry start to the day the back garden was once more busy again, with more and more birds coming to the feeders and at long last a Robin, bringing the year count to 10.

Overhead the early morning Pied Wagtail roost dispersed and one or two Chaffinches were heard passing through. Recently a pair of Blackbirds have been coming into the garden and today they were joined by a pair of Woodpigeons and a Dunnock.

Later in the day a Pied Wagtail and a pair of Magpies were seen chasing a Sparrowhawk as it made a low pass over the house.
