Snows back for Xmas




Well its back with a vengance snow snow snow
we've had so much snow here in North wales and more expected Boxing day, its been a tough time for all the birds in the garden very hard to give them water as it freezes so quickly. We've had the usual mix of birds though thet seem in greater numbers than i can remember in previuos winters especially Blue Tits , I think they had an extra brood this year. We have got one unexpected bird for winter here that is a pied Wagtail (just one ) that seems to have hung around I'll try and get a photo but every time a get the camera out he flies off ( i recall Lou complaining about that happening to her) she would have adored this amount of now and the NARNIA apearance of the area You All have a good Christmas out there in internet world and I'll post again in the New year Al
