Birds very busy and active around the feeders, especially the robin who would like tthink that one of the feeders is especially for him, and him alone! (It could be her of course, but his attitude is testosterone flavoured!) We had a small cloud of long tailed tits yesterday. Where do they go afterwards, and how does something that small survive these bitter nights? Our beech hedge is a highway for all birds (and the fox at night), but at least the squirrels have gne to sleep for a short while. Will have to go down and deal with the fruit cage, forgot to take the top netting off earlier in the year, so self inflicted injury I'm afraid. More snow forecast, no more than a couple or three inches at present, but very hard freeze.
