Like November started warm but soon cooled down with the first dusting of snow on Monday (5th). Freezing rain over night and now gale force winds and still cold.
Birds are eating a feederful of sunflower seeds and one of buggy nibbles every day plus fat balls, nuts and ground food.
It's working though because yesterday we had a male bullfinch on a fly through, very handsome he was too. We have frequent visitor of a marshy-willow tit too but the long tails haven't really been back this year yet, I've heard them a few times but no visits to the feeding station.

A phenological diary for Goathland and surrounds.
About...
Does what it says on the tin. An online diary of nature and garden notes based in and around Goathland, a small village in the middle of the North York Moors. We have a wide range of birds which visit the garden but being surrounded not only by moorland but also pasture land and some woodland including some lovely mature trees means we have an even greater species list that you might expect. The garden is predominantly herbaceous beds with some shrubbery areas and a fair expanse of grass.
