Happy in the snow

A woman from the Forestry Commission, hard work, playing with a snowball.
This one taken by my daughter of Arnold, that is what she calls him, and I didn't mean the cat!

Cyril Hart Arboretum

It had snowed during the night before, and all the birds are hungry. The Pied Wagtail was quiet, and busy looking all around for some predatory beast. There wasn't one.
Long-tailed Tit. Beautiful bird.
Also there was the Great Spotted Woodpecker, he too was looking about.
And, the Blackbird, rummaged about with snow.

Collared Dove (My garden)


These were taken in the snow, not as bad (or good, whatever you might think), and behind a glass opening. A window. I had to be there, because it was freeeeeeeeezing! Oh, they were right, meteorologists, and for once they had to celebrate themselves.

Great Spotted Woodpecker (Cannop Ponds)

Here he is, tapping quite melodiously. It was very loud, so loud it was deafening. Its really beautiful.
It was a dull day, until 2.00pm when the sun came out. The weather person has said its going to snow, but, I don't believe it!
