Yes Liz we have had several inches of snow here on the coast which hasn't shown any sign of melting, -8 degrees last night and reached the dizzy height of 1.1 degrees for a brief period this afternoon. Needless to say starling numbers have dropped dramatically, and greenhouse ticks include a robin, several wrens, a snipe and a couple of thrushes. The thrushes have discovered our cat flap is minus a flap and so the conservatory is now providing b&b.
The common gulls continue to increase in numbers, 15 yesterday and now including several first winter birds. As you can see parking is becoming an issue and one black headed gull settled down for the night on the roof.
