My wife's sister sent the lights for Christmas, but this is the first good wet snowfall we've had since.

What a lovely garden. I like those raised beds - keep meaning to do that myself.
We finally cut the grass yesterday and I did some weeding. It looks very nice, but not too tidy. Don't want to chase the wildlife away. I'm expecting the starling fledglings (and blackbirds hopefully) to swarm down very soon as I'm having to fill the feeders twice daily now. Have stocked up with feed and am looking forward to lots of screeching and splashing when I come down to breakfast.

Oh no..... it's started. It's a lovely sunny day here for the first time in months but the flamin' cat from over the back has been in my shrubs and injured a fledgling sparrow. It's now on my garden path and I daren't move it, but hate the thought of leaving it there too. So I'm avoiding the garden. The downside of spring unfortunately.

One for Alison.
The onslaught from next door's clematis.
This lot eventually reached down to the ground over an area about eight feet wide. It came over and through the fence.

Just been watching all the starling juveniles bathing, playing and getting fed by some excellent parents. Great fun. And saw my first juvenile blackbird this morning too - all fat and speckly. The chaffinch youngsters are doing well too and there's a whole bunch of sparrows flapping around too. How dull my garden would be without all this activity.
Mind you, that flamin' carrion crow's got his eye on the proceedings too which is a pain, so are the magpies. Oh well, there's always bit of trouble in paradise I suppose.
