The freeze continued today with frequent snow showers and an icy nne wind.
I had a couple of hours walk down to the Holdsworth area and back.
The 'going' bit of the walk was poor with the accompaniment of a heavy snow shower that stayed with me all the way to Holdsworth.
The return leg was much improved with even a ray of sunshine at one point.
4 Blackbirds feeding on our garden meal worms were chasing one another about.
One bird looking a good deal smaller than the others.
I normally only see 2 Blackbirds in the garden.
Birds:
Similar to recent winter outings down here... not a lot.
2 Greenfinch, Chaffinch, 2 Canada Geese.
2 Mallard and a few other common species.
Prize of the day goes to a Buzzard being mobbed by Crows in the Oats Royd conifers.
When nearby Crows spotted the Buzzard they began to call and other Crows came from quite a distance to join in the melee.
I 'd have never seen the Buzzard without the help of the calling Crows.
