Well a busy time on the bird feeders this morning. I think I counted 14 species in a five minute spell. Our male Blackcap has been back for a month or so and an unexpected visitor was a young Moorhen. Talking of birds I have seen the Barn Owl  a few times from Splatt Bridge and I did hear a Little Owl from the garden a few days ago.

Just had an email from old friend Chris who publishes a newsletter from my old college and was surprised to see a plug for Pig The Legend ( reminder you should be able to order through your local bookshop or through the publisher Troubador, or direct from me – all proceeds  go to The Alzheimer’s Society).

On a positive note the days are getting longer! It was a beautiful cold morning with a pink coloured sky.
