You do like to live dangerously, don't you?

Out with Rosa noted that the snowdrops are out in the grounds of the big house

No Usk becomes Jam with predictive text, don't ask why!!

River Usk = Afon Wysg 

The small town of Usk = Brynbuga (pronounced Brin Beega) means Hob goblin hill.

Hob Goblin hill.

You know who to blame then, scoutman, it's the evil little people!

Green Woodpecker in our garden this morning, digging around for grubs. Didnt get time to adjust the phone for a closer shot.

I was looking at the Long Tailed Tits on the fat ball feeder at the bottom of the garden this morning when I noticed some movement on the tree in direct view line but in the woods behind the house and there was a Treecreeper making his way up the tree. Beautiful view in the sunshine. I noticed that the tree to his right had a smaller version of "himself" on it. Probably "herself".

One solitary eider spotted on my local Coastal walk, for both exercise and heart lifting purposes. Usually see several at this time of year! Beautiful birds.

They were waxing lyrical about them on Winterwatch yesterday

Had a nice flight of about 7 Goldfinches alight on our Wygelia today.

What a brilliant display of plumage those birds have !

Was looking down on them from an upstairs window.

Love the names of places and their origins. South of our River Esk we have Boggle Hole and to the North, Hob Hole. Both stunning Coastal places to watch wildlife. Both, as legend has it, connected with the 'Wee Folk'.
