Bird song

A rather mundane week, the weather has kept us pinned down so that we have almost been confined to quarters. I have been pleased that we have the dog because she has given me the incentive to go out and walk, albeit only short distances. The camera has not seen the light of day all week, the cold has eroded my enthusiasm.
On the positive side, the birds have now begun to visit our new feeding station with sightings of Green finches, Coal tits, Robins and a Nuthatch to name a few. But the best thing has been, that this morning, it was the sound of birds singing that woke me. It seems such a long time since the first sound of the day has been bird song. I think that we are both eagerly awaiting the spring.
