The pair of malard that come here each year to set up home were quite unpeturbed by the arrival of a little grebe on Wednesday.He went on his way up stream as if on a mission.Today he was on his way down stream but I am not entirely convinced that he has left.The dipper has put in another appearance this week ,he has a favourite stone which is prominent at the moment with the river being so low.
The smaller garden birds looked most peculiar this morning under the feeder, thigh deep in snow with their tails dragging on the snow.The blackbirds and chaffinch soon worked out how to eat the fat balls and peanuts.Still not one greenfinch,just as well as the two starlings and greater spotted were greedy enough!
