Shortest Day

-8°C at 8am. A neighbour claimed -10°C at 6.45am.

Another busy day with fourteen Blackbirds all feeding at the same time, beating yesterday's record by three! Now all I need is a Fieldfare, Redwing and Mistle Thrush to follow them in!

Blue Tit







The Black-headed Gulls arrived early, but as usual didn't stay long. Eleven of them today.

I used to have a Mistle Thrush regularly take up a feeding territory in my garden at this time of year. No sign of any so far this winter. Nor Song Thrush, come to think of it.

Looks like you had another brightish day, Emma. Think it`s been well over a week since i`ve seen anything that resembles daylight.

Struggled with the light today - really needed the window open (a lot of glare) but it was far too cold for that!
