Hi John
Any news on the Santa deliveries?
Nothing much to report here other than a couple of Redwings stopped in the garden for about 20 mins yesterday, taking some of the few berries remaining,

I thought it was the Welsh spelling of it!

Hob Goblin hill.
You know who to blame then, scoutman, it's the evil little people!

Green Woodpecker in our garden this morning, digging around for grubs. Didnt get time to adjust the phone for a closer shot.

I was looking at the Long Tailed Tits on the fat ball feeder at the bottom of the garden this morning when I noticed some movement on the tree in direct view line but in the woods behind the house and there was a Treecreeper making his way up the tree. Beautiful view in the sunshine. I noticed that the tree to his right had a smaller version of "himself" on it. Probably "herself".

They were waxing lyrical about them on Winterwatch yesterday

I was surprised th the other morning to see a set of what I think were deer tracks in the snow, as we live in an estate, and although there are fields close by the nearest woods are well over a mile away. I have never seen any deer in the fields by us.

Thanks brue. The tracks were distinctive but relatively small so perhaps were from Muntjac.

A first for me this week and something I'll probably never be lucky enough to spot again! My Cinnamon Trust dog walking takes me alongside a rather murky stretch of the river Avon. Occasionally I see a flash of blue and realise a kingfisher has just passed by. But this time it decided to perch on a branch just below one of the bridges so I thought I'd stop to watch for a while. Then it dived down into the water and emerged back on to the branch with a fish in its mouth. Sadly, I only had my phone with me but did manage to get a picture - you'll have to look closely though - it's the tiny blob almost right in the centre of the frame (honest, gov, it is!

Female Sparrowhawk paid a visit to the garden this morning, very odd to see a pair of Blue Tits trying their best to scare it off, before a pair of Blackbirds joined in. The Sparrowhawk took absolutely no notice and sat there for over an hour.

Good photo BM our male Sparrowhawk is still around from last year and has grow a bit as last year it was quite young. Have had over the last three days a lot of Red Kites flying over our house from SW to NE maybe they are trying to escape the flooding further south of us.
Had a afternoon coffee outside the last two days and watched a male Blackbird drinking out of an old black bucket then decided to have a splash about came back twice and did not like the Blue tits landing on the bucket edge and I have a large bird bath only 10 feet away from where he was he just wanted his own pool, I have another next to the house a bit smaller and the robin comes to it first thing in the morning and last thing just before it gets dark as no other birds about.

Our sparrowhawk zoomed past yesterday. Scattered everything in garden.
Nice little treat today. We parked up and had a Gregg’s pasty in our local retail park. Bi monthly event, topping up on pooch food. All the resident starlings were about. I threw a few crumbs out of window, then sat and waited while they perched on car wing mirror, and then they took crumbs out of my hand. Gorgeous little birds, very special close up. Sadly OH wasn’t quick enough with camera, but I will try again next time we call.
