23rd Feb - sunny spells, 7C, light breeze

Busy helping with the lambing today. Unbelievably two ewes gave birth to quads yesterday and all were a good size and heathy.  Ewes are only designed for two lambs really so as these grow extra feeding will be needed.

I was able to watch the feed station for a short while early afternoon.  There were at least 10 Yellowhammers, 6 Chaffinch, 6 Great, 2 Blue and 1 Coal Tit.  4 Tree and 6 House Sparrows were present, a Tree Sparrow often seeing a House Sparrow off the feeder.  Two Pheasants fed below the feeders.

A Mistle Thrush was in the area and the Goldcrest was singing again.  Several Song Thrushes could be heard singing around the general village area.
