There was so much snow that we put the tallow ball feeder back out again after having brought it inside, and we've seen even more jackdaws, wood pigeons, and songbirds (blue and great tits, robins, and some sparrows) the last few days, when it was harder for them to find the insects and worms. Hopefully they can also get back to eating their proper diet now.
And maybe more of our bulbs will make themselves apparent. The lilies in the big old perennial beds are coming up energetically, but there is no sign of any more buds yet. The grass is still brown and the trees bare.
