Twit-twoo
In the last few weeks, I’ve heard owls on a regular basis around here, but I’ve never managed to spot one…. until last night! It took me a while to figure out just what it was I could see perched on a wooden stake, and it wasn’t until I set up my camera that I…

More snow?!
We had more snow overnight, and although it stopped during the morning, the forecast was for snow from about lunchtime. Instead of steps in the garden, it looks like we have a very steep slope heading up to the grass! More finches and blackbirds have been flocking to the nearby feeders again – there was…

A Charm of Goldfinches
I’ve noticed a couple of small birds flying around recently, but they never seem to sit still enough to be able to identify them! However, after they flew off the roof and zoomed past the window, they landed on the seed feeder in a nearby tree. Undeterred by the pigeon landing on the grass nearby…
