Snow joke!


Top Dove - 'when is it my turn'


Smaller intruders - 'its my turn'


'Is it my turn'


'Aha I have possession'

Beaten by the weather this last weekend as on Saturday I had a trip to see family (glorious sunny weather), but as forcast Sunday (I knew it would be snowy) it was very snowy. This was snowy with vengence (for daring to have a few days without). So no decent birding our feeders were busy though. We were soon beaten and back at home.

At one point on Sunday afternoon we had at one time 9 blackbirds. We had big birds feeding on them, not the Sesame Street sort, but collared doves and wood pigeon. Also sparrows, thrush, blue tits, coal tits, chaffinch, robin.

My shots are to illustrate merely my lack of post this last weekend! If that makes sense.

Hi Mike.
a nice post does not need to have pictures of birds ;-) This one is cute.. and I'm waiting for the same thing... The clouds arrive and the snow has been forecast for the end of the week, maybe tomorrow ;-)

Hi Mike, at least you are getting snow, we have not had any snow at all here in the South this winter, only rain:-(

It's tough up North Linda!
I think it would be a little boring with no snow. Pat's family in Blandford have had none but a little I understand in Salisbury.
