An early visit to Sizergh this morning produced 3 Hawfinch, 1 Male and 2 Female birds.
Highlight of the visit was a food pass !

Snowdrops at Sizergh

Had a family visit to Sizergh this afternoon, too late in the day to look for Hawfinch, but my little girl enjoyed seeing the bird feeding station (usual Finches, Tits & a Nuthatch calling somewhere nearby) & a walk round the gardens. Snowdrops were in good fettle & there are a few Crocus starting to come through.

Thrush Gallery

I've added a gallery for Thrushes & Chats within the birds section, here's a couple of tasters.

Snowy weather

A layer of snow and dense fog made for strange photography conditions, but here's a few photos from around and about.
