Earlier problem sorted! - now live with sound - click on the blue tit!
Busy this week putting cameras in bird
boxes (you might remember that I have placed them live online previously) -
getting ready just in case we get lucky with nesting in the Spring - straight
away can see that an enterprising blue tit is seeking refuge from the winds and
weather, in one or our boxes ! - every night around 5.20pm it flies in and
settles down in this box, fluffs up its feathers to conserve heat, and sleeps
until the following dawn - lovely to see - CLICK ON THE BLUE TIT if you would like to see
it (Just video, no sound at present) AND my neighbour
Michael Pick has recorded an online shot of the bird arriving in the box on
Friday, at 5 past 5 in
the evening CLICK

----Saturday
22 Feb - Monday 2 Mar
Unsettled and often windy conditions are expected to continue with areas of rain
moving east across the UK interspersed with brighter, showery interludes. Rain
is likely to be heaviest across western and especially northwestern areas with
the driest and brightest weather across the east and southeast. Hail and thunder
are also possible in the showery interludes with snow at times over northern
hills. Temperatures will generally vary between near normal and mild as weather
systems cross the country. Some brief quieter, colder spells are also possible
later in the period, with the best of the dry weather away from the far
northwest. These periods may also bring some overnight frost and patchy fog in
places.
Monday 2 Mar - Monday 16 Mar
A continuation of the unsettled weather is expected at first, with spells of
rain and strong winds broken by brighter but showery conditions. The heaviest
rain and strongest winds are expected in the northwest, with drier conditions
expected in southern and eastern parts. It will perhaps become more generally
settled throughout the UK by the middle of March, with more prolonged dry
spells, particularly in the south and east, with wetter conditions more likely
to be confined to the northwest. Temperatures are expected to stay above
average, with any cold interludes fairly brief.------------------
