What's she feeding us now? (Turdus merula)

Mr B doesn't seem too sure that the snow tastes that good to eat LOL

We had a right old gale here yesterday with lots of snow showers. The snow didn't settle until a heavier fall later in the afternoon when the wind had dropped a bit. Only a very little lay and it's all gone now.

A casualty of the wind though is my pole feeder, the feeder tray got blown out of it and I can't find it. Guess it's landed in the North Sea somewhere!

It's a little breezy this morning and quite cold.

A great close up of this Blackbird munching on the snow D! Beautifully captured girl !!

I reckon if the ponds are frozen, they still get their water through the snow and maybe some frozen insects as well. This seems to be one helluva spring for you guys. 80 degrees here today ;)
