Dragon goes Wild

  • Goldfinches

    I know some people will look for any excuse to not remove the seed heads from a plant, but the sight of some Goldfinches happily raiding the plant for the seeds is a valid reason for me!   #staywild

  • When the snow lingers on the hill….

    When the snow lingers on the hills, there’s more snow to come ….or at least that’s what my Great Gran used to say. We’ll see if that holds true, as the snow is definitely lingering on the hills! #staywild

  • Duck Eggs

    Ok, so it’s not real duck eggs (and not a real duck either), but the way the snow piled up certainly has an egg-like appearance. #staywild

  • Fieldfares

    The Beast from the East was determined to cause havoc with the temperature – they were forecasting a windchill of -6C during the day today. So it probably wasn’t any surprise to see so many Fieldfares feasting on berries (although I’ve only preivously seen them tucking into apples in the garden).     #staywild

  • More snow?!

    We had more snow overnight, and although it stopped during the morning, the forecast was for snow from about lunchtime.

  • It’s snowing!

    It’s been a few years since we had some decent snow to try taking photos of, so I couldn’t resist trying out some photos today. I did attempt to focus the camera on the snow itself – that was a lot more challenging than I’d anticipated! In the end I went for a general view,…

  • Sunsets

    This particular location can be quite reliable for a decent sunset, and today was no exception…. #staywild

  • Since when do Pigeons eat berries?

    Normally you’d expect to see blackbirds eating the berries, but this morning there were two pigeons tucking in! The berries must be a great delicacy though, as the branches aren’t really that easy for such a large bird to sit on and they looked somewhat uncomfortable. Obviously that particular branch was now cleared of berries,…
