Flowers!

We've been away for a week, and come back to loads of snowdrops in flower which is lovely, we've been seeing lots in Dorset and it was good to come back to some brightening our garden. The bluebells continue their inexorable appearence through the 'impermeable' membrane too. The birds have also emptied the feeders while we've been away, so while through the really cold snap they've not shown much interest given a somewhat milder week and they've scoffed the lot!

We've also had a collared dove in the garden, so much 'tidier' than our normal overweight pigeons, not that I want to diss the pigeons of course. We haven't seen any siskins this year, and we normally get one or two, nor have we had a fieldfare in the garden though there have been flocks of them about.
