Chaffinch

Time for a bit of Chaffinch overkill!







The weather has been terribly dull and windy recently with a mixture of rain and a tiny bit of sun, - we even found some snow at the weekend while on a drive down to Newcastle: A light covering of snow in Powburn - a small village in north Northumberland.

The garden has been quite quiet, with the majority of activity coming just before dusk. It has been so dull lately that I haven't even been able to take any photographs - the above Chaffinch shots are the best I've been able to get. I took them this morning during a short burst of sun.

The male Sparrowhawk has been at least twice this week. To the best of my knowledge he is still yet to catch anything in the garden.

Our hedgehog is still out and about. The last lot of bedding I left for him ended up all over the garden because of the wind but I've put some more out tonight - he must have enough soon, surely?!

Lovely chaffinch photos!

Perhaps your hedgehog has been watching home improvement shows and keeps re-thinking how to fill his winter den. "Barley straw is SO last year!"
