I went over to Liverpool this morning – through the tunnel (no gulls!) and back on the ferry (gulls). Circling the ferry and sometimes floating on the water were some immature Herrings and some Black-headed Gulls in their winter plumage.

Heavy frost again overnight for the third night running. The front hedge looked wonderful.





Just the sort of frosty sugar coating that should have been around on Christmas Day!

Ice on the ponds and water features to day.

There are lots of Primulas and Primroses out around the garden – mainly in tubs – but very few of them look any good. Although they have been flowering continuously since last spring nearly all of them are pecked go bits by the birds. I wonder why the birds tend to go for primulas and primroses and so few other flowers.
