Its cold again. Frosty this morning at 0 degrees. Still no Willow
Warblers etc etc.
Last night around 6pm a nice male Brambling dropped into our feeders for 10
minutes. Its not around today so I assume it could be in Norway by now, where
it might be warmer than here.

Up near the main hall car park, the 3 mtr patch of lungwort is the place
to be for insects. 12+ Hairy Footed Flower Bees but only 2 females were great to
watch as they scrapped and chased through the dead stems, Garden Bumblebee,
Common Carder Bee, Red tailed Bumblebee and 4 Dark edged Bee fly were all
filling up at the nectar station.
