Cool, wet, very windy and very grey weather made for another quiet day's garden birdwatching (and another day's really can't be bothered going for a walk). The birds were out there — I could see the food going down in the feeders — but they were keeping well under cover except for sorties to the feeders lasting barely a minute a go. I nipped out to refill the sunflower seed feeders and had cause to ask the long-tailed tits to stop picking on the blue tits.

The black-headed gulls were back on the school playing field, together with a heap of jackdaws. The woodpigeon numbers are picking back up again, which I'm taking to be a sign of Spring.
