Beaky’s back.
It started snowing around 7:30 this morning and it’s still going four hours later and it makes it difficult for a chap to get around when the snow comes up to the top of a chap’s legs.
I wouldn’t like to be a bird this weather having to sit out all night and the best you can hope for in the morning is a cold worm for breakfast. Not nice.
Birdie, our resident Kestrel, roosts overnight above our balcony and this morning she didn’t get up until nearly 8 o’clock. I can’t say I blame her as it was snowing quite heavily and it was late getting light. We saw her fly off but I can’t imagine how she’ll get on for food in this.
The weather forecasters have predicted snow over the next two or three days – but then what do they know?

We are safe indoors with a reasonable stock of food – human and avian.
The same thing happens with our supermarkets when snow is predicted.

I remember Barry saying “we’d like to see photos of snow”. Guess all you have to do is look outside
I think you have had more snow then I experienced in the 2 1/2 years I was there.
Back in the late ’60’s pheasants were everywhere! The “landed Gentry” would complain if they “only” shot 400 birds that day. Are pheasants still that plentiful? Here one can go years without seeing one.
We had another 4-5 inches of snow yesterday. Not a problem, except for the remaining ice left over from the Christmas ice storm. Made for some slippery spots.

I must remember to keep my big mouth shut.
“Are pheasants still that plentiful?”
They are still fairly common and it’s not at all unusual to see them.
