Female House Sparrow

Pictured from the short session a week ago when the snow made us return home. Car used as hide, our bird feeders the nearby attraction.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

To all followers of this blog and visitors regular or otherwise Merry Christmas from me and Pat. Have a great break.

Every weekend we have been out of late it has statrted snowing, last weekend was no different when we beat a retreat for tyhe supermarket and then home. The Blackbird header was taken in the falling snow from my car outside the house.

It's hard being a small wader!

I went up to Filey Country Park yesterday as 11 Woodcock had been spotted a few days before.

I did see a couple of Woodcock flying and plenty of gulls.

Waders were feeding on the grass in the centre of the park, although there was a good couple of inches covering of snow. The pictures depict the probing where the grass is visible.

Cold, hard work indeed. I love this small wader although common and in its winter plumage, they look so small alongside the Oystercatchers.

Thinking about it.

 Not too sure.

Why not!
