Little Black Bird.....Big Wood Pigeon !!

Top left...Big Wood Pigeon.....bottom right....little Black Bird !!
The wild life....helping them-selves to the rose-hips.....

The snow....is quite deep now.....view to the wood......

The girls........wanting back in !!

A lovely Beech Tree.....on the edge of the wood.......behind......the tree......my little wood...is now 4 years....old ..........


I was looking out of the window....this afternoon...and there outside sitting on the wild rose bush was a little Black Bird......!!

I thought Ah....the little Black Bird was helping itself..to the rose-hips....on the shrub....as it was tucking into the hips......

There was a huge......flying Wood Pigeon..which also landed like a world war II bomber.....on the same shrub.....the Wood Pigeon was huge in comparison to the little Black Bird ......

They both tucked into the rose-hips and then the pigeon.....flew off.... I like to see the birds in the garden...and I always..leave the rose pruning till after the winter for this reason.....as when the weather is bad the birds..rely on all the food they can find......I always put feed out for the birds......so we often have garden visitors.......

The girls were out for all of 5 mintutes...today....I turned them out......put hay out and the sky just turned black and then into snow.....they stood at the gate and demanded to be back in....so I just opened the gate and in they ran.....I then collected up the hay....and they were happy to be inside....out of the snow !

There is no end to the snowing at the moment...we are forecast.......more snow over night on the East Coast of Scotland......and its minus 5 !!

No melt insight !!!...........

This all sounds very familiar!

Are alpacas are just the same Jayne, we turn them out and then five minutes later they are stood at the gate looking for Lisa to let them back in. So once the mucking out has been done and new beds put down they are all back in.

wow, cannot believe the snow! Still a thin layer here but the thaw should set in at the end of this week. Busy spinning? Should I send some patterns? xxx

Oh my, the girls got covered! And in just a few minutes! It looks like they were out for hours - it must really be coming down. I love the photo of the beech tree. It's very beautiful.
