Rain,Rain, Rain

It has rained every day at some time since the 1^st January, 41 mm so far, needless to say I have not been out much. I really feel for those who have been flooded out.

My small garden is changing habitats, at this rate it’s becoming a marshland.....umm might get some waders. It’s still a pleasure to look out of my window and see the birds, all common species I know but they become my birds. The Lesser Redpolls ( 12 most days now) have taken over the feeders and the Goldfinches are visiting but not in the usual numbers. The other observation is the Robin seems to be obsessed with chasing the two Dunnocks out of the garden. The Dunnocks frequent the garden most of the day; they pick up the spills from the ground below the feeders.
