With children playing in gardens , the Winter Thrushes have been patchy today , but when things quietened down , they came in good numbers to the Cotoneaster bush on the other side .

Sunday 5th. February 2012
Well , managed to get the hedgelaying done yesterday and got home well before the overnight snowfall . Have not attempted to go anywhere today , as roads on the estate have not been treated , the Council do the bus route and then leave the rest . Do we pay less Council Tax ? So after clearing areas of the back garden path and putting down plenty of food and clean water , I spent the day catching up on processing photos taken over the last week or two , whilst watching the back garden from the back bedroom window , the results being :
Jackdaw on next door's Laburnam ,
One of two Blackbirds that have been feasting on the Callicarpa berries ,
Carol's Robin with that 'where are my mealworms' look .

This Redwing just making off with it's prize ,
The Fieldfare wasn't quite as quick ,
Mind you , there are only so many berries that can be swallowed before one has to sit and digest ,
2 Fieldfare and a Redwing , feeding in harmony .
Whilst writing this , the next raiding party is assembling in the Sycamore , joined by a few Starlings ,
and 3 Rose-ringed Parakeets were arguing noisily for the seed feeder , this one won .

Shots of winter thrushes seem very appropriate at the moment Greenie, as do Robins. Parakeets maybe not so appropriate with snow but a very nice pic all the same.
The Winter Thrushes look even prettier with berries and snow! Lovely photos throughout and obviously a productive day at the window. The Parakeet is a lovely splash of colour but looks decidedly odd in snow :-)
The lane outside my house was cleared by 10:00am Greenie :-) Thats what happens when councillors live along a route ;-)
Least you've got Winter thrushes from your house :-)
I wondered whether I would get some winter thrushes in the garden this weekend, but no. The light that the snow reflects shows the soft contrasts of the Jackdaw's plumage beautifully!
Looks like a busy garden yesterday Greenie, great to have those thrushes in there.
