Another day of snow. It's stopped falling, but landscape looks rather lovely with its white coat on.
As I was de-icing the car before leaving for work, I heard my first singing Chaffinch of the year, cooing Stock Doves, a drumming Great Spotted Woodpecker in the tree just across the road, and watched two Blue Tits in some kind of courtship display - there was much high-pitched calling and wing-quivering before they flew off. At work, I've spotted a pair going in and out of a nestbox and making adjustments to the entrance hole, so it's all another reminder that spring's waiting behind the snow.

Spectacular images of the snowy landscape! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photographs and I envy you the abundance of birds. I miss the chaffinch, so when we were in England a year ago I picked up a stuffed furry one which when pressed sings its -- a real recording.
