First signs of Life

Just a short post before I head of to Tenerife to visit Lou's mum Sandra who like the Swallow migrates to the sun every winter.
Well winters is still with us heavy frosts now followed by normal North wales weather of horizontal rain,a few days ago when we had a hard frost I took a couple of pictures of grazing Chaffinches and a bonus of some plant life just starting to emerge from the earth first signs of new life this year roll on Spring

Wet and Windy back to normal

Well the snows have finally gone and we have returned to our normal winter weather very wet and very windy.
The garden is a mess after the snow so i cant wit till we get some dry weather to tidy, mind you it hasn't stop the birds we have had the usual suspects plus the first visit for a while by two Jays and by the way they behaved they must be a couple of last years chicks as they did not appear as nervous as normal as the generations go by they are getting more and more bold not flying off when i was moving around in there sight. Also we had a visit from a cute little Coal Tit Lou's cousin Lisa took this picture

Snow free New year

Happy New Year to everyone
The snow has finally left us t had covered the garden for the best part of two weeks, and feeding the birds has proved difficult, the one thing the birds require fat, has been frozen solid due to local temperatures going down to -20 one night however the birds have all come back with a vengeance even the lone Pied Wagtail has survived and still looking healthy.
In the next few days I shall go around the garden and take more garden pictures for you . I've added a snowy picture for you
