It's difficult to believe the weather that we have had in the first three weeks of January.
First the lovely powder snow, followed by the thaw or maybe not if you look at the water butts and yesterday we had a Pied Wagtail bobbing about in the yard.

The birds are visiting the feeders much more this weather and although we don't seem to have had a lot of different birds, we have had a dipper. I think it's a lovely bird and am trying to get a picture but to no avail! No doubt I'll post this and get a picture immediately. I thought that it was more likely to be found near to a river. It can't be the pond because it's frozen solid and has been for a couple of weeks. Anyway it's quite happy eating the meal worms and wild bird seed so I'm not complaining.

Christmas at Height Top Farm.
We were very busy preparing for our Christmas visitors and this year it looked so special with the snow.
We did have doubts as to wether or not we would get our visitors here but Kens digging and his tractor came in very handy.

Our guests have been busy recording birds and have left details in the Nature Watch Book.
During August one guest recorded seeing; Robin, Blackbird, Crows, Swallows, Magpies, Kestrel, Goldfinch and an Owl with a large wing span in the rough grass at the back of the cottages.
Another guest recorded watching bats. They weren't pipistrelle, they were much bigger.
Early September and we have had corn bunting as well as the other birds. These were sitting on the telephone wire, thirteen in all and evenly spaced on the wire.
We have only just done our haymaking, unusually late for us, but we have got some good hay.

Rainbows
My website Rainbows on a very warm early evening, last week.
The colour of the sky appears to
be different either side of the
rainbow.
