Cold winter weather with snow on the high ground has started to come down from the north. It looks like cold and frosty weather will hang around for a few days.
I noticed one holly tree in the village is still fully laden with berries and all the fruit still around on the ground should help some species cope with the cold spell. First time this winter a Blackbird was eating some of the cotoneaster berries in the garden.
20+ House Sparrows were sheltering from the wind in the garden clematis.
Along Montilo lane the foraging flock Fieldfare and Starling is still present and maybe larger now, with more FIeldfare in the adjacent Pailton road fields.
I heard that 3 woodcock were flushed from a nearby wood last weekend A number winter in the right places around the village area every year.
