Good people of Britain...........PANIC

Heard my first woodpecker of the year on New Year's Day.
 
Fair enough. The RSPB say early part of spring is when you should expect to hear them drumming.
Don't know what a Chiff Chaff sounds like, but will listen out for it.
 
noticed some daffs sprouting in the garden last week. Also noticed that another set of bulbs under cover are sprouting too.
our dianthus have been flowering throughout december!
We've got some fuscias that have just virtually stayed the same when usually they die off pretty much completely in winter

Sounds loud for a small thing! Never knew what they sounded like, or heard of one really, till someone pointed it out a couple of years ago. Now I hear them all the time in Spring :)
 
Yeah I didn't want to be accused of pointing out the obvious again, bit they really didn't use their imagination when naming the Chiffchaff.

It's certainly no Yellow Bellied Sapsucker in the inventive name stakes that our American cousins christened.

Yosemite Sam used the term “Yellow-bellied Sapsucker” to describe Bugs Bunny. Probably given it's name by the English naturalist Mark Catesby in the early 18th century
 
Bloody cold this morning. Got workmen here trying to mix cement and having to stamp on their hose pipe trying to break the ice down.
 
When I took the dog out this morning it was the slippiest I've ever known it, I (unintentionally) slid the whole way down my drive, across the footpath and into the road, completely outta control.

The one advantage of this bloody cold weather is that it opens up a short cut over the parks football pitches that would normally be too muddy, but are now frozen solid...

The one advantage for me is that my garden doesn't resemble a mud bath with diggers stuck in it, no grass...just mud. At least when it's this cold I can get to me bins without me losing me shoes in the mud.
 
Its a bit fookin windy. Fences, walls and trees down everywhere.

Yeah storm rolling in from the Atlantic. It's set to batter North West Ireland and Scotland today and into tomorrow.
We were not supposed to get much of it in Dublin but I was woken at 7:50am by the wind howling and rain hammering against the bedroom window.
 
We are really only getting the edge of this one. Denmark is in for a very wild night though
 
Friday looks very bad. Wouldn’t be shocked to see a red warning for round here
