here in blackpool we dont have snow im sorry to say, i know it a pain to most which i can see, when your trying to get to see loved ones at this festive time, or getting to work, but im like a kid i would love some snow and all we get is rain, hail and sleet, its so cold but milder tonight at 5c which isnt to bad, even the pigeons were trying to keep warm today and decided on a game of rugby i took this picture of them in a scrum, arent they clever birds lol


mr blackbird didnt want to play he has food on his mind as usual, ive placed the ground feeder under patio set as to keep his food dry all day, he doesnt like it rained on


and little robin has just been pottering around all day doing his own thing, i think he just loves having his photo taken, and why not, its his favourite time of year when he gets lots of attention being a pin up for christmas cards etc lol


so hope everyone with snow is managing to get about, im not to bitter at the fact you have it and i dont, lol, take care if venturing out ;o)) x

Our snow is 4"deep,and 5 below freezing for the past two nights.Stayed in all weekend ,as it so icy and treacherous underfoot.Love the blackbird.I never thought of putting the food under the patio table.Ta,will do that.I have 3 planters under there,so there is just room for a a feeding tray....

We have a good covering of snow here in Newcastle I couldnt get to my bird feeders today it was to slippy to venture up the garden.I must make the effort tommorow as they are looking for food.I put Ginges cat food under the patio table he is a stray who I feed regulary but he decides when he wants to come inside even in this weather an hour in front of the fire is enough for him.
