+3 here and snow has all but stopped – it’s just a light frozen drizzle. Snow reached 4 1/2 inches deep on the bird bath. Brightening up remarkably.
Birds are appearing. The little ones have realised the seed platform on the bird table is covered and the seed is available, as are the fat balls. There is also seed and grated cheese for the larger birds on the snow-free ground under the bamboo.
