Spring! No, not quite...

Another half day off work thanks to the weather. I came home after lunch because it had been snowing for several hours and the roads were looking tasty...This is the first 'proper' snowfall I've experienced at home since we have lived here, nearly 4 years. The close proximity of the coast generally means that when places only 5 miles inland are snow bound we are usually clear, but not today...

This afternoon I had a walk from home, down to the sea at Low Steads and back getting well soaked in the process.



The cattle looked fed up standing backs into the wind, but they did attract some birds....



There were 60+ Skylarks, 7 Snipe and 4 Meadow Pipits here while a bt further along the links were 120 Fieldfare and 20 Redwing. Grey Partridges stood out in the white and 15+ were seen mostly now paired up.



Only the farmer had been along the road....



Its not often the beach gets snow on it.

I didn't see any frogspawn, catkins or crocuses. I'll give it another few weeks....
