Description

Many thanks for all your kind C&Cs regarding Brantome abbey!

no internet yesterday at all Sad Sad Sad so could neither catch up or write or anything.
here at work there is hardly any time but will try.

________________________________________

it is freezing cold, temperatures are below 0º in the morning and just above in the afternoon.. The blue tits and great tits love the recently imported niger seed to face the cold. I have to put up some signposts for the finches though.. the news aren't round on twitter yet.

All fluffed up in his winter duvet, how cute is that! Surprised to learn your Finches haven't been on their mobile phones yet as it seems that's how they spread the messages around this part of the world!! Grin

Seeing some sun on and off here, Annette, but there's no strength in it, and temperatures are dropping all the time. A lovely bluey capture. Carol

Have you tried black Sunflower seeds?

Mine thrive on it Grin
Always the first feeders to be empty, long before the peanut and fat-ball ones

A fine capture Annette of this plump little blue tit. We had 8 last week together with every other little bird you care to name. But yesterday and the day before not one! All we have seen are couple of blackbirds, a few pigeons and jackdaws; all the little ones have gone!!! Sad ... Carol

Beautiful image! All fluffed up against the cold! Ron is constantly buying bird food at the moment, I'm sure you are too but when you have images like this is it's the only thing you can do!!
