Of a different kind! A few snow flurries brought dozens & dozens, actually hundreds of birds today - starlings outnumbered them, but big parties of goldfinches & chaffinches too! Plus the pair of bullfinches... photos were taken but windows so dirty they didn't come out so well!

Yet the chaffinch in the foreground & the goldfinches - one looking straight at the camera - didn't turn out so bad after all (even though window is filthy!) But then it's good to have dirty windows, as it does stop birds flying into them - my excuse anyway!

The UK is once again at a standstill - so much snow & ice - so I'll say it again - PLEASE FEED THE BIRDS! They need it so much, there's no food left now on the land, they really need our help! So please feed all you can! Thank you :) (also in other countries there are hungry mouths to feed, whether you're in a heatwave or experiencing an Arctic blast!)
