Snow

Snow again

Well it is all snow everywhere - hopefully it will soon be gone.

More snow

February snow

We were hit with a lot of snow in February which slowed us down a bit on the farm and meant that we had to burn lots of gas to keep the chickens warm! Still we managed to capture this beautiful sunrise!

Birds on wild bird mixes

We wanted to post these pictures because we were so excited at how successful the mixes were at feeding the birds in the bad weather when they were most in need. We are amateur photographers so you will have to bear with the quality .. it is definitely not Springwatch standard but we have recorded the moment. It was minus 2 degrees and just check out the number of birds - do bear with it for the first ten to fifteen seconds, we think they were finches, flying over the bird seed plots.

When we were standing very still they all came down to feed, but would then fly off in a cloud again as you can see in the video.

Bird mixes in the snow

We were amazed how many birds were feeding on the bird mixes during the snowy weather. Some days there were literally hundreds of birds feeding - an incredible sight as they all flew up into the air and back down again to feed.

More snow pictures

We had to clear the drive and the lane so that the feed lorries and gas tanker could get to us. We also had to bring in tankers of water for a couple of days when the pipework froze.

Snow on the farm

Just like the rest of the UK we have seen more snow in the last couple of week than in several decades!
