Monday was dull and mild with some rain in the evening but not bad for December.
Whilst we were harvesting vegetables at the weekend it was a chance to check out how our green manure had coped with the recent spell of frosty weather. It had managed to survive the odd frosty night on 08 December when the temperature got down to -2.6°C. Last week though there was a bit more of a cold spell with four consecutive nights of below zero temperatures at -0.7°C, -2.1°C, -3.8°C and another night down to -2.1°C.
If you haven’t seen this blackbird on my Facebook page it’s posted on YouTube and shown below. The sunflower hearts had become damp so I took them out of the feeder and left them on the patio table to dry out. This blackbird just couldn't resist the opportunity and came right up to the window to help herself to rich pickings.
