The plan had been to have a day out at Southport to see what was around at Marshside and Crossens but I decided I wasn't going to end the year subject to the peculiar whims of Northern Rail.
Plenty about in the garden, I'm having to refill the feeders twice a week at the moment. The highlight of the day was a very brief visit by a very smart-looking female blackcap. The Mahonia at the bottom of the garden definitely earns it keep, as well as being very decorative at this time of year it's a very good small bird magnet. I'm never sure if the attraction is the nectar or the insects feeding on the nectar, or indeed both.
