I've just seen my first robin for about five weeks (heard loads). How very Christmassy!

More storms today meant birds were few and far between, but quality shone through with a visit by a Goldcrest.

Early yesterday morning I was very surprised to see a pair of Eastern Bluebirds checking out a birdbox outside our living-room window. The box is in totally the wrong type of habitat for Bluebirds, plus it seems too early to be thinking about nesting.
