Garden Notes

Another day spent at home due to the severe weather, however, on a positive note, we reached the heady heights of +3 degrees Celsius which resulted in a slow thaw.  Tomorrow the daytime temperatures will be a positively balmy +8 degrees Celsius, which of course will bring another problem for many, flooding.
The day started with a Song Thrush visiting the garden to feed upon Rose Hips.  Single Song Thrush occasionally came to the garden during the day.  Two Fieldfares frequently came to the garden to feed upon Rose Hips, Cotoneaster berries, and chopped Apples which I provided.
Blackbirds were ever present as were Starlings which enjoyed the fat-ball feast.
Finches were represented by a singing male Siskin, Goldfinches, flyover Chaffinch and Greenfinch.
Also seen in the garden was Wood Pigeon, Collared Dove, Blue Tit, Wren, Robin, and Dunnock.  The only raptor seen today was a fly-through female Sparrowhawk which typically scattered birds everywhere.
