Happy Christmas

Weather has been a mixed bag, all of it bad... We had cold frosts, then wet foggy, weather followed by 130km Winds, not all that good for fishing !

Nobody is braving the weather to even attempt to fish so things have been very quiet. The birds have been enjoying the feeders at My garden and down at Chris's so we have been photographing them instead.

Here is a selection of the ones we have in good numbers, including Redpolls, Blackcaps, Goldfinches, Siskin, Fieldfare, Collared Dove and even a buzzard sat in my garden:
