A Festive Feast!


Early morning in the garden was for once a hive of activity, the hard weather, 2cm of snow on the ground had pushed the birds into the garden with up to 5 Great Tit, 2 Blue Tit on the feeders, a Robin, brief visits by a Jay & Green Woodpecker that perched in the central tree of the garden.
A Dunnock, a Chaffinch and a Greenfinch were also present from time to time, but they were all flushed by a magnificent male Sparrowhawk who sat in the right tree for several minutes attracted by the melee.

Cheers Danny, taken through the bedroom window in a snowstorm. If I'd opened the window he would have flown off in a flash!
