A cold but sunny day......

...there was little activity in the garden today - even the shield bugs from last week have disappeared - may be the cold. The Thrush, below, gave me a hard time chittering away at me - I realised why when I spotted a nest in a large Elder tree. We dont see many Thrushes and I hope this one is here to stay.

Making the most of a sheldered sunny spot.

Lichen in an apple tree. The flash brought out the various colours.
