We've had some lovely birds in the garden this week with all the snow. It is a bit warmer today so the snow has gone and the frogs are in full swing. There are hundreds of them in the big pond and it is just like frog spawn soup round the edges.

Here is a photo of a greater spotted woodpecker I took this morning. I'm actually sitting in bed with my cup of tea - can't get much more civilized birdwatching.
