Snow



And there has to be a Robin when there is snow. 


And snow there certainly is!!!


This follows weeks of heavy frost.

Long-tailed Tits

On an exceptionally frosty morning a flock of Long-tailed Tits passed through the garden.  This is the first time we have seen them here.


The dark (and dirty windows!) reduced the quality of the photos.

Sparrowhawk



This is the second time in recent weeks that a Sparrowhawk has caught a pigeon and plucked it on our lawn leaving piles of feathers to be collected up.

An August visitor



I had a pair of Southern Hawkers in the garden on 6th August.  One of them wouldn't stay still at all but fortunately the other stopped - very briefly - for me.
