@[email protected] Awww, no he was quite chirpy today. I just caught him in a moment when he was staring intensely at something in the distance. He has excellent eyesight, he usually spots birds of prey before any other birds in the area, and sounds the alarm.

A memory of summer, two Skylarks scrapping mid-air on Solsbury Hill near #Bath #Somerset #UK back in June. There's usually a few breeding pairs on the hill-top every year.

My Robin friend Little Mate this afternoon. It's very cold today and was snowing earlier (didn't stick, unlike in other parts of the UK), so he has his feathers puffed-up today. In #Bath #Somerset

Goldfinch perched on top of an Alder tree today in #Bath #Somerset #UK. The Alder cones provide a valuable source of winter food that these birds can't get enough of.
