18 Dec - A rapid fall of several inches of snow in the morning gave true winter conditions and a very busy feeder. I counted 18 species around the garden area including 5 species of thrush - in addition to the possessive Fieldfare that commandeered the berry tree (1,2) I logged Blackbirds (3), a Song Thrush (4), a Mistle Thrush and 2 Redwings. Pied Wagtail and Goldfinch were among the more usual species. The Waxwings (7,8) were unfortunately not in the garden but about 4 miles away in north Swindon, where I photographed them in falling snow. A chilly -8 overnight.
