February snow

I'd planned to go over to the allotment today for some clearing up and to continue to remodel the beds.However I woke up to find that a decent amount of snow had settled.Quite reassuring for this time of year given that it's the north of England.

The cold snap has been a bit of boon for bird life in the garden for as well as the usual fare , including more starlings than for many years, a Nuthatch visited yesterday, and this morning I've already sighted a Siskin and a magnificent Greater Spotted Woodpecker. Unfortunately no photos yet.
