RSPB weekend birdwatch

Possibly our finest moment from the hour when we recorded the birds in our garden - on the left the flash of bright red on the great spotted woodpecker on the feeder; below, a moorhen happily picking up whatever the woodpecker dropped; centre, a female blackbird; also on the tree, a blue tit and a robin. Just behind the tree there is a female pheasant, also happy to pick up what others drop. This is the lawn outside the entrance to Tudor Lee. In the foreground are the snowdrops which are such a pleasure at this time of the year. Next week's visitors will be able to enjoy them, and they will still be here for Valentine's day and weekend - any takers?
