Winter is coming...

Craig writes:

The weather in the past week has shown signs of winter being round the corner as it’s been cold with gales and the snow was right down to the lower hills on Friday.

The high winds resulted in the trees being bare as ever and causing huge piles of leaves to build up against walls – good for collecting them though.

One evening a friend and I were piping at the Inverness Town House for an awards ceremony and the wind was nearly taking me of my feet with it catching on the tall drones!

Recently I’ve started to feed the birds again and because it’s been so cold they are really appreciating the seeds and nuts and are constantly going back and forth to the bird table.

The book on wild birds is out, and I’m attempting to identify the ones I’m not familiar with.

Hey Craig

lets hope you werent wearing a kilt piping when the wind got up!! Anyway, i was thinking the other day about the bird seed you blogged about and i really like the idea so i was think of doing a bit of that on my plot. What exactly do you grow for it??? I was shooting the other day in scotland on a farm there and the rain and wind, it was biting. I was going to stay behind on the pond for ducks but i was that wet, i gave it a miss!!
