Snow Again

Snow came through the latter part of last night, falling silently onto ground which had been prepared for it by a sharp frost yesterday evening, about two inches in all, the sort of snow that sticks to everything including....

....those gorse bushes which, for reasons that are a complete mystery to me, are in full flower.

The top picture was taken at nine this morning, a view from our kitchen window across the road to where I've hung several feeders for the blue, coal and great tits to enjoy as they are still too nervous to venture closer into our bare front garden.

Some of the blackbirds are growing bolder, having discovered that, under the wire that keeps the crows off, there's seed and a fat ball buried in the snow.

The snow hasn't finished with us. The forecast is for more tomorrow but there were heavy snow showers offshore, moving steadily eastwards across the Moray Firth.
