  • the frost photos viewed in large are a bit special. Good to see there is still some food available for the birds although I would think the blackbird won't be sharing

  • Thanks Germain, the blackbird was eating a lot of berries...
  • Cracking photos SM, and I find it hard to beat frost or snow photos.

    National Trusts are worth keeping a watch on for wildlife and plants, and though  I've not many English (inc Welsh & Scottish Heritage sites nearby, they too can be worth keeping a watch on.

  • Thanks Mike.

    Yes they are good to visit and it doesn't take many trips to make the membership worthwhile.

    It certainly doesn't.

    I make frequent visits to two localish Nat Trusts (Baddesley Clinton & Charlecote Park), and even with my wife on the membership, though she's an infrequent visitor, I can still make it good value.

    BTW, was at Baddesley yesterday, checking out the snowdrops... And the redwings, report and photos to follow....   Wink

  • Anglesey Abbey is also popular for the snow drops, they were just starting to open. We may have to go back in a few weeks...

    Most Nat Trusts have snowdrops, but don't leave it that long, two weeks tops, or you could miss the best.

  • Time for a return visit, been almost a year. Not quite as frosty today.
