So far today, it's dry, AB, but we certainly do seem to have had an awful lot of rain this winter. Always conscious of it as we have a stream at the bottom of the garden. Lovely to sit by in the summer, but not so nice when it's a swirling muddy torrent!
We haven't seen our woodpeckers either this year. There is a family of feral cats living in the neighbours' gardens. They (the cats, not the neighbours!)won't dare come over here because of the dogs, but I fear our wildlife is much depleted and the RSPCA can't/won't do anything.

I dont care ,long as it doesn't snow!
Gahhhh! Ice! Slush! Slipperiness! brrrrrrrrr!

Oooh my 21hours are done, I can eat!! Fish and veggies mmmmmmmmmmmmm :0)

Where are you in UK @azureblue? Hope not Somerset or south west!

Right in the middle so wet but not underwater ~~~~ \O/~~~~

Wise words heehee! Made me chuckle anyways xx!

In my apple tree today are 5 collared doves, 6 goldfinches and half a dozen sparrows. It's where the 4 feeders hang :0)

And me too - my immediate thought of course.
@Azureblue, you need to whip out the camera when you see such a scene, so you can share with us!

You all always beat me to it coz of my snail typing.

I shall endeavour to photo but I don't know how to make the pic the right size to attach on here <\o/>[]

On my mac, @Azureblue, when you "save as" you have the option to save at a lower quality - ie less pixels. Someone else would have to say if a PC works the same.

I regularly have 15 to 20 of the duller native birds on our fence eyeing up the bird feeders. Mostly they are sparrows, coal tits, and the duller finches. I love their colours when seen close up, but wet and bedraggled as they seem to permanently be at the moment, they all look remarkable the same.

It's time to remove the shower cap from my coconut oiled hairy head and go wash it in coconut shampoo. Then I'll have my official weigh-of-the-day followed by a cafetiere of good coffee. Even the sun is currently shining \O/
