Flipping cold. About -9C last night (and -17.7C the other side of Oxford), and more of the same tonight.
But the cold weather has bought some unexpected visitors – notably there were a few reed buntings (pictured) flying around the garden all day (first time I have seen them here), as well as a late visit from a pair of siskins who haven’t been around for ages. Yesterday, a local great spotted woodpecker popped in for a while. All this as well as a load of chaffinches, goldfinches, robins, blue tits, great tits, coal tits, blackbirds, song thrushes, wood pigeons (grrr) and the local house sparrow colony.
Nice.
