I haven't had snow yet Pat, they are forecasting it tomorrow but our area isn't in the main snow run for that, might get some!

Red Polls have been where I used to live, about 25 miles from here. I might get to see one here if I'm lucky!

I don't clean up either, it's been too cold anyway but the plants clean easier if they are left to 'age'. Often the old stems just snap off instead of needing to be cut.

I haven't put out the seed I bought some time ago, it may come handy if it snows.

I had a female Great Spotted Woodpecker a couple of days ago in the oaks, it was so dull though the pics didn't turn out well.

There was a Tawny Owl too on a lower branch not too far away, could just see the shadow in the dark.
