Default Yep, More Snow!!!!

Wee bit yesterday mixed in with showers and a topping on the hills, but this morning an inch or so covering and traffic nose to tail on the way to Edinburgh and still falling. No wonder we have no swallows of migrant Swifts like they do in Suffolk and Norfolk, boo-hoo, well we will have to just be heppy with our eagles,ospreys,crested tits ECT, such is life.

Totally fed up - have not been birding for the whole of March due to work being busy and other commitments.

Finally have 4 days off and the weather forecast is torrential rain for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and snow/sleet showers on Thursday - then I'm back in work on Friday when it's going to start getting better!!!

Blackpool is dull, dank and miserable and the weathermen have been correct too

Showery and overcast down here! Hopefully we are going to miss the snow.

Hope the weather cheers for you and that you manage a few hours birdwatching, Alan.

I feel sorry for you Mike with only Eagles, Ospreys and C Tits to get views of!

Snow is not laying here, not from what I can see from the window anyway.
Poor EJ's nest is covered in snow.

It is a shame, Maggie!

Default Return of Cabin fever

No Buses, no telly, no work, looks like a couple of days in the house. Roads out of town to the Borders are blocked. Frog spawn in pond is frozen and covered in snow, be interesting to see if anyone survives. Snow plough as usual has blocked the cars in so off back to bed.
