And so our cold 'snap' arrives. Already more small birds are appearing at home in the garden and around the three feeding stations on the reserve. Even the Pied Wagtails have become regular visitors just outside the shop window as they scuttle around on clockwork legs looking for the dried mealworms that Annie has put out for them! Finch numbers are going up and I would not be surprised to see a Brambling with the Chaffinches before too long!
