HAPPY NEW YEAR!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Nature is going frisky! Birds were singing everywhere during a walk around Ampthill Park with Carole early this afternoon. The exceptionally mild weather and sunny intervals were having their effect. Long-tailed tits chased one another around our heads; a male great spotted woodpecker bounced up an ancient oak branch before drumming his equivalent of "I'm the king of the castle"; grey squirrels played a dizzy game of tag around the trunks. No doubt the freezing weather forecast for the end of the week will pour the proverbial cold water on it all!
