A couple of images.

Not much to write up on over the last ten days or so.  The Rising Sun this after. was disappointing, not even a Shortie. Saturday day out with The Howdon Blogger was held over to Sunday so we could enjoy The Birds of  Hamsterley Forest but the venture into the forest was cancelled as the roads were blocked by snow. We reconvened at Low Barns with John seeing a Marsh Tit. I had drifted on ahead and missed it and it was quiet thereafter. We called by Rainton Meadows on the return journey and again not much about with two pairs of Oystercatchers noisily jostling for possession of one of the islands being the highlight.
Here are those couple of images that have nothing to do with the above.

Nuthatch at Far Pastures from a couple of weeks back.
