January 2011 part1

1st Cold dank misty start to the new year.
3rd Blacbirds are my popular vistors to the garden. One has a beautiful golden /orange bill but 2 other's have dirty grey beaks. This means they are last years brood.
7th Small spinkling of snow. Birds visiting today ; female blackbird, blue tits, cole tits, starlings, robin, great tits,  woodpecker and sparrows. The male house sparrow has grey on top of his head.
 14th First signs of spring in garden primrose in flower, catkins and bulbs sprouting.
 20th and 22nd Spent watching birds . Love seems to be in the air. At least the collared doves think so.
