Birdies

A glimpse into how to get about in this village.  You have to have wings.
At any one time I counted, 6 blackbirds, 20+ sparrows/dunnocks.  Song Thrush, chaffinch.  We also had wagtail, collared doves and variety of tits, but they flew off when I got the camera out.    Mum

Fieldfare?

Think it's a Fieldfare, none of the books I have show him with so much colour, but he's eating the remaining apples, knew there was a reason they stayed on the tree.

Frosty

This was taken a couple of weeks ago and it's frost - not snow!

Some Snow

This is the bird water bath.  Bear in mind, that we kept cleaning it off to start with, so the birdies could have a drink, then we gave up.
