It's back

Well after two weeks of heavy snow it started to melt and it began to disappear almost as fast as it arrived leaving lots of ice. Blades of grass began to appear and then it started snowing again today.
At lunch time today we had over 20 chaffinches, a dozen or more greenfinches a handful of gold finches, a couple of black birds and a thrush plus a few sparrows and dunnocks.
We've been found by a big family of long tails 12-20 this morning.

Snowy Hare

Well, the snow just keeps coming, so far just short of 50cm (20 inches) in the front garden, would be more on the road but the wind is making it drift on the corner. The garden is full of hungry birds including a pheasant who hoovers up under the bird feeders and the tail-less great tit is still about, he's been named the Guinea tit. This morning there were rabbit tracks down the side of the house.
Yesterday mid-morning on the way up to the post office we saw a hare running along the garden walls down from shops heading towards the Goathland - perhaps it was Nanny P? It's the first time I've seen a hare actually within the village.
