After yesterday's Sturm und Drang it came as a relief to settle down to ordinary cold, heavy rain and hailstones. Even after going out to fill up all the feeders again I was half determined to go out for a walk though common sense prevailed in the end.
Despite my hopes, nothing unusual turned up on the school field gull flock save a first-Winter common gull.

A male siskin barging through the spadgers to get to the sunflower seeds was a nice surprise, only the second I've seen in the garden. He was obliging enough to pose for photographs, unlike the spadgers. They're being particularly frustrating because three of the males — the old white-cheeked patriach, the ginger-faced newcomer and one of the very dark slate-grey individuals — keep sitting in a line on the top of the feeder under the rowan tree.
