Bullfinches look superb in the snow.
11 whooper swans on my dog walk yesterday. They were in flight and sounded like a host of clowns on tricylcles sounding horns.

flock of starlings cleaned out the feeder earlier. I've never seen them actually in the garden before. First there was a loan scout, then about 20 mins later the hoards arrived. I guess it's getting wintery out there.

Early count indeed Pedro..when I do mine I know that I won't get Siskin or Nuthatch, if I do it'll be a miracle. Running along river trail this morning--Bullfinches in various places, 3 Goosander (one drake), r Cormorant. Daffodils flowering well in nearby park!

Steve, I'm right next to a conifer and mixed wood so nuthatch is a regular but Siskin not so much. Daffodils flowering here too and GSW drumming again this morning. Almost spring like

Woodpigeon fest this morning. They used to regularly turn up in packs, but this is the first time I've seen more than a couple for a while. The female blackbirds are hounding them, with a bit of help from the squirrels.
