Bad weather stopped visit

Bad weather stopped visit (Erithacus rubecula)

Rather a strange title and I was not talking about the Robin not visiting either...Which it has been in the garden this morning for its crushed fat balls.

I know some of you wanted to know how I got on at my Hospital appointment today for my checkup on the cancerous spot I had removed from my neck, this was possibly going to be the final visit before I was given the all clear. Due to the weather conditions here of -8 degrees and 4 inches of compacted snow underneath it Ian thought it better not to risk the journey to Hartlepool. I now have been rescheduled for 31st Jan....Many thanks to all BF's , you are such caring friendly people.

Super photo Margaret, well done. My coot was swimming in duck weed, which develops in our summer.

Great that you also liked my capture. Robins are awesome and their appearance often made a good beginning for a shooting day.
