Santa Claus is coming to Town



Ribble Steam Railway are running their popular Santa Specials. A bit of snow won't stop Santa!



The garden bird feeders were covered in mounds of snow this morning. so brushed them off and re-filled. Also made sure there is some unfrozen water in the pond, which is attracting just as many birds as the feeders at the moment. Daily visits by greenfinch, goldfinch, chaffinch, blue tit, great tit, robin, dunnock and great spotted woodpecker give much birding pleasure when I'm unable to get out and about.

Snowing .......





The swans are skating. I was beginning to think it had bypassed us.
