Bleak Midwinter 2

As snow has continued to fall this week, I have had a small flock of redwings and fieldfares in the garden. I've never seen them here before.They migrate from Iceland and Scandinavia to feed in the British countryside, but have been driven into gardens by the inclement weather to take advantage of bird tables.

Closer to the house were the robin and goldfinches on the feeders on the rose arch. I managed to get some good pictures, using the zoom on my camera and then enlarging the photos.

Here is my little robin




And goldfinches on the niger seed feeder

The weather is finally warming a little. I am hoping to get on with the winter pruning this weekend.
