At least _I'll_ agree with you Sacha. Grey down here in west Cornwall,
with passing showers, and a cold biting wind.

A 'Grade A' grey day ;-(

Lovely sunny day here in South Wales, Temp with us went up to 43f, got
the tubers packed for the RHS trails, a couple of days late, but with
the snow and everything...........

Ah, that's those lovely new Dahlias you sent the pics of, yes?

We have had a colony of long tailed tits here now for the last 5 or 6
years, at times when I go out to the field they follow me along the
hedge calling away all the time, then they follow me back and stop at
the feeders, I love the way you can get to within about 6 ft of them
when they are feeding, if you go slowly

What a super photo, David. Next time we have some ltt around I'll move
closer to them and see if I can get a pic of them on the peanut feeder.
Thanks for that.
