A few bits and bobs from camera catch up

 

This weather takes grey to a whole new level ! Distant crossbills in the greyness.

Kestrel in the sun !

Ringtail going through the starlings

Terrifying the starlings !

Stonechats enjoying the sun

The last of the carrots from our garden......they were delicious !

Catkins.....spring is just around the corner

I make the wreaths for all my families graves every year with greenery collected from the local forest. Love making them and this year I made them for a few neighbors aswell. The holly rips my hands to shreds !

Christmas dinner - delicious as always !

and Boxing Day dinner.....yummy xx

Simon and our son, Tom, tucking in !

Kestrel with lunch on a grey day

 

A very distant Ringtail Hen Harrier

 

Afraid never close but so good to see each winter - we are so lucky 

Goosanders

 

Quite a few goosanders on the river now

A few birds from the forest feeders

 

Someone had put masses of food out but the birds were not complaining !

There was a small burst of collared earthstars, there had been lots but they had gone over. Didn't know they still bloomed this late, will have to keep a look out in future.

Coal tits and great tits in the pouring rain
