Snow = Garden Bird Watching

Since my last post, Glasgow has 'enjoyed' biting easterly winds and snow, so birding has been limited. 

In the garden we have had 18 different species of bird during the week but only a few of each. The maximum count consisted of 6 Magpies and these were harassing a Sparrowhawk, that had caught a male Blackbird ....

Soon after, the snow arrived and photography was limited to a few shots from our bedroom window ..........

The only other sighting of note, again from a bedroom window, was a Peregrine circling around the nearby gasometer.

Hopefully, the snow will start to thaw soon and we can get out birding once again!
