More Snow

A second arctic blast hit the area last week and once again many of the birds disappeared from the scene. This time it took several days of warm weather before the skylarks, linnets and yellow hammers returned. Still a mystery as to where they go during the inclement weather.
There is a large flock of redwings roosting in nearby woods (tends to vary as to which they select). In the morning you can hear their mass singing which caused quite some consternation when first heard.

Primroses have sprung up everywhere and violets are appearing on sunny embankments.
