Last night the weather forecast said
there would be no snow this morning. Hopes were high when we got up until we
looked out the window and there they were – snowflakes – big snowflakes, and
lots of them! On a positive note the wind seemed a little less than on previous
days and there were a few more birds around. At least 15 Great Tit were in the
garden, the Yellowhammer was singing from the hedge and a couple of Greenfinch and
Skylark passed overhead.
By late morning the snow had eased
off and we could see the horizon for the first time in days. A Carrion Crow was
feeding on the beach among the Hooded Crows as was a single Fieldfare. 36
Barnacle Geese came in from the south, across the sea, and continued along the
coast to the west. A white-tailed Eagle was seen, a few Little Gull fed
offshore and a single Velvet Scoter was among the usual duck species. 1
Goldfinch was searching for seeds among the few grass heads that were not
completely covered by snow and a Red Kite drifted slowly overhead.
By mid-afternoon the snow had started
again, and it continues to fall now, but today we have seen more than we have
seen over the last couple of days combined. Tomorrow is a new day; we will see
what it brings. The forecast says it’s not going to snow…
The road may have been cleared today but access to the beach is still blocked!
No signs of spring yet...
hmmmm, maybe even a little bit of sun?!?
