It's January. And it won't stop raining. And it's very windy. And it gets dark at 4pm. Marvellous. Oh, that's the same intro to last month...

Steering away from the astronomy theme I thought I'd make my first post for this month a bird (well there's a change!)

We had four of these little beauties on the feeder at the same time this afternoon!

In case anyone doesn't know it's a long-tailed tit..
