Since last Thursday, 17 November 2016, we have had snow here on the Pennines of West Yorkshire. Although the temperature is not bitterly cold, and there are signs of thawing, further lots of wintery showers keep coming along and some of the snow flakes are massive. On Friday, I took some photographs of birds feeding. It always gives me such pleasure watching them feeding and filling their little bellies with seed. The small birds (goldfinches, greenfinches, robins, sparrows etc) drop quite a lot of seed from the seeders and so, at ground level, the pigeons, collared doves, and birds too large for the feeder, get their chance of a meal. Shortly, I am going to make the
fatty seed and fruit balls that I make each year.
