Winter has returned with blizzards and general crap weather, what a change to last year . I was not going to post on the blog as I thought there would not be alot to tell you about. But I am on here because even in the middle of a blizzard intrepid north bound travellers continue to battle on , namely a flock of 60 plus Meadow Pipits which were grounded by the snow .This follows on from reports from Portland of hundreds arriving yesterday from across the sea .
 The garden has hosted Nutatch ,male Blackcap and a summer plumaged female Brambling over the last two days .
The weather forcast for the next few days is still cold ,it is hard to believe that on the 1st of April last year I was watching a Cuckoo . Spring seems a long way off at the moment .
