The rain washed the last bits of snow away. So much activity going on with the birds , seen a pair of bull finches busy in the garden next door. A raven has taken to sit on one of the tv aerials not sure if it is the same one he acts like a sentry! Bless him , he does that most days so think it is the same one.
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Fox and Birds
Accidentally disturbed the Fox when he saw it was me he settled down again. Saw a great tit in the apple tree having a good look around. The robin drank out of the water butt. Seagulls circling overhead and calling . The wind is bitter but fresh at the same time . Then came along the blue tit.

Come Back
A seagull flies past low and steady as if not to drop the tasty morsel in its beak. The snow has stopped sun out and the birds are busy flying here there and everywhere.
The handsome dog Fox is back ! So lucky to have him come back and he knows he is safe here with me .

Seaside
Feel like that I am at the seaside as the seagulls are circling overhead calling each other. Snow is still coming down but very small flakes. But it’s not that bad.

The snowflakes have landed
It has finally happened the snow has arrived highlighting the greens browns and greys beautifully. But it’s more wet snow but a thin layer of it covering the ground. And it’s bitterly cold out there

Water Butt
The water butt is overflowing gently adding more little streams to the ground soon be a river. An other magpie pair have claimed a disused chimney pot. They are busy putting their new home to right.

Just About
Across the field a small herd of deer just about can be seen . Not very often they are seen they keep themselves to themselves. Overhead a bird of prey hovers just before it pounces.
