FURTHER SNOW!

Another weekend of snow, we had about 3 - 4 inches here. It has attracted fieldfares back into the garden to finish off the remaining apples; also another blackcap on 
the feeders, a male this time. 

Although it has rapidly been thawing, I went over to Stanton park in pursuit of a few snowy photos.  My birdseed and peanuts attracted blue tits, coal tit, marsh tits, great tits, long tailed tits, robins, dunnock, chaffinch, blackbirds... and almost a jay! There were no squirrels around, and a jay was gradually getting nearer but then a low flying helicopter scared it off at the last moment!  Oh well, another day......
