Time to start this year's thread of odds and sods (Last year's Odds & Sods HERE)
Today a large flock of 40 or so Redwings descended on the fields around our local parkland and although they were pretty skittish and distant I hard cropped a few pics for you ....
and a blue tit landed nearby !

It seems Spring is almost upon us, even in the North! This week has seen the Skylarks suddenly appear in the park and start squabbling and performing their song-flights. We went from none to more than a dozen in a couple of days. Too grey to catch them in flight, but they were not that shy on the ground.
And a local Dipper collecting nesting material - both the resident pair were present. Seems early to me, but it flew with it straight to their usual nest site ...unless it was just adding insulation for roosting.
They might regret all this when the temperature goes back below zero next week!
