As I woke on Monday morning another snowfall overnight had left a good 6 inches of the white stuff for us all to negotiate. For all of us in heated homes and vehicles it’s easy to cope with winter but our wildlife is now finding it hard. I urge you to put out a little fruit, nuts, seed, fat and warm water for our feathered friends and others. They need a little help at the moment.
Walking around the hill here at the beginning of the week a Song Thrush came down and inspected my footprints where I’d exposed the grass underneath the snow. He was desperate to find food.
