I've had those feeding in my garden as well since the snow arrived. Big and fluffed up, and probably also a lot fatter after all the goodies they have been dining on these past few days.Probably going to make a tit of myself but there were two of these in my garden today. Very beautiful in the crisp snow.
I don't recall seeing one of these before, any ideas what they are and if they are a common sighting in these parts?View attachment 5212 View attachment 5213
I've had a couple of little thin black and white birds feeding on the patio since the bad weather as well. The one is very brave and comes up onto the patio step looking through the window when the food has got covered with new snow. Can't identify them from any of the websites. Will try to get a photo next time I see them to get an idea what they are (although got a crap camera on this phone..)
Yep that's my new little friend

Ah, That's where he's been , not seen him all afternoon!I saw him waiting for a train.
It was just amusing - he had exactly the mannerisms that the paying passengers have there, standing on the edge, looking for the headlight of the approaching train - he just needed a little suitcase.Ah, That's where he's been , not seen him all afternoon! kind
Interesting watching what he's doing with his leg in that clip, my little friend has been carefully nibbling away at the snow on his legs .
HS2 ?I note that a good run of hedge along Marston Lane has been netted - to prevent nesting prior to it be ripped out, usually.
Housing*, more likely, I think, just on the way in from Beaconside.HS2 ?
Yep today that looks like a daft suggestion!and as such it joins the host of other coo-coo suggestions I have come up with, over the years!Housing*, more likely, I think, just on the way in from Beaconside.
* Or de-housing, if you're a bird.
