We don't usually get much snow here, but we had about 3 inches this morning. The birds were very quiet until the sun started a bit of a thaw. It is very cold tonight and more snow is forecast.
The fieldfares and redwings were back in the area, looking well in the sunshine. The garden was very busy this afternoon, even with the builders about. And, guess what, the goldfinch I've seen in the garden here. It flitted between a dead tree on the right hand side of the garden to the nyger seed on the left hand side of the garden. It was very nervous, seemed to take a seed, then look all around and take another seed. The only bird that I had in the old garden that I haven't had here yet is the bullfinch.
Oh the sparrowhawk is still visiting my aunt's.
your garden sounds great - would love to see a pic of it if you have one.
