| Blackbird |
Well, the birds have been expecting it and so have we... and it finally came! Overnight, the whole town was covered in white. We were quick to get out this morning around 8 o clock to start digging. By shifting all the snow around the bottom of the feeder and the rockery, we hoped it would be easier for birds to move about and access food. The little mounds of snow around the dip would act as a small wind barrier too. Plenty of food came out for plenty of birds who came.

| Redwing |
The redwings returned in a flock of about 12, but only one or two landed in the trees surrounding the garden. There were apples out, but they didnt feed. Perhaps too shy or not interested.

| Goldfinch |
Most of the visitors were blackbirds (a record of 8) who fought constantly for the best pieces of apple, and a host of finches (chaffinches, greenfinches and goldfinches.)

| Two Long Tailed Tits |
 |
| Single Long Tailed Tit |
The Long-tailed tits also came back in a small group of 3 (only two pictured, fast fluffballs!)
 |
| Three Greenfinches |
Also... I decided to try out the video function on the new S2950. It was very cold, so shaky hands, and also the battery wasnt great as i'd been trying to get the best quality pictures out of it (and failed hehe) So excuse the bad photography skills!
