Most of the UK enjoyed (depending on your point of view) heavy snowfall in the second week of February. Here in Hereford it was just very cold. There were a few dark corners where some snow accumulated, not enough for a decent socially distanced snowball fight though.
It was a battle to keep the birds’ water unfrozen and a few trips during the night were needed to keep the smaller ground dishes free from ice for any passing mammals. There is always a pathetic sense of achievement when a perfect disc of ice is removed from the bowl.
The birds seem to enjoy having a warm bath in the morning. This lone pigeon preferred some privacy and waited for the rest of the flock to leave before seeing to their ablutions.
After spotting the great spotted woodpecker drumming high up in a tree obscured by branches last week, I was lucky enough to catch him on the fatball feeder.
The snowdrops remain tight lipped, apart from a single double, or is it even triple, flowered one.
More signs that spring is on the way include the cherry plum blossom starting to bud.
And the flowering currant in bud also.

You are very good to provide a hot bath for your visitors.
They thank me by making lots of noise early in the morning 🙂
