It seems as if winter has finally arrived. There has been a good frost every night for the last 10 days or so and light snow showers. The snow is tending to lie above 100m, helped by the fact the soil temperature is only 2°C at 300 mm depth.

The garden birds are currently eating over 1 kg of sunflower hearts per day and 0.5 kg of mixed seeds plus about 0.5 kg peanuts. The Pine Marten still looks in daily for nuts and other treats but particularly seems to enjoy an egg.
