During the arctic conditions experienced last week with snow covering the ground, many of the birds deserted us for places unknown. What was remarkable was that their return was as quick as the thaw. No sooner had most of the snow disappeared than the skylarks returned and almost immediately began singing. Similarly the flock of linnets was back along with pairs of yellow hammers.
there do appear to be fewer song thrushes singing and they, it seems were particularly hard hit. I did attempt to rescue one cold and hungry individual but sadly it only lasted half an hour in a heated room.
