Time this winter came to an end!

Struggling to get this blog going but we will continue to perservere! Weather at weekend not that brilliant, cold westerlies with sleet and snow keeping most birds well hidden. The usual parade of bird table visitors included, blue tit, great tit, greenfinch, starling, dunnock, blackbird, coal tit, GS woodpecker, jackdaw, collared dove, robin, house sparrow, goldfinch, chaffinch and pheasant. Walked 3 miles up gill in afternoon but the only things of interest were 3 wintering ravens which seem to make there winter home here every year. Still plenty of red grouse up there despite the record shooting year! Everything else seems to have made in down into the valley or headed south for winter!
