With a lot going on so far this year I have hardly found time for wildlife. A terrible state of affairs, but the heavy snow provided some opportunities in the garden today. Blackbirds found the apples thrown out for them very quickly and it wasn't long before a bold Fieldfare joined them. His visits were far too brief for any photos but here are some others.
