At home
About midday it began to snow quite heavily, with some amazingly large flakes coming down. But with the temperature hovering around freezing it wasn't settling on the already wet ground.
Greger's seed feeder (with his improvised tray for less agile birds like robins) has had a procession of visitors: blue tits, great tits, a coal tit and two nuthatches. I grabbed a shot through the window.
The nuthatches don't fight with any of the others; they just ignore them, zooming in and scattering smaller birds to left and right. We've seen nuthatches here since we moved in over twenty years ago, and I think we owe their presence to mature oak trees just up the road.
