A month on and it more or less stopped raining yesterday. For about 12 hours. Then it snowed.
Positive points today: it may have snowed overnight but it`s been a beautiful day, sunshine, quite warm sunshine; just enough snow to make it pretty but not an existential threat and lots of bird activity. In fact took binoculars out and wandered up to watch the flocks of excited little birds darting in and out of the gorse at the top of our field. Turns out it was a convivial collection of sparrows, yellowhammers, chaffinches and possibly a blue tit or two, keeping each other company as they flitted about. they can obviously sense us edging towards more light and Spring.
Hate to anthropomorphize too much but it was like they were having a bit of fun before the serious breeding season arrives.
