Satellite signal gone!! Dish full of snow. Wind direction perfectly in line with the dish

[Caught The Twitching Bug?]

Last night about 11pm I was sat outside listening to a bird singing it's little heart out. It wasn't a Robin, a Thrush or Blackbird but other than that, I've no idea what it was. Is there even a glimmer of hope that it may have been a Nightingale?

Sorry Jethro, won't be a Nightingale. They are making their way across West Africa at the moment. Arrive in England late April / May. Fairly scarce in your part of the world. Maybe it could of been a Wren ? or Chaffinch? Blackcap get often mistaken for Nightingale, they also have a wonderful song !

[Winter Of 1739-40]

The famous Naturalist Gilbert White, writes about the terrible winter of 1739-40. He mentions that of terrible frosts and cold N/E winds carried on through April and May, stopping Redwings and Feidfares departing for Scandinavia until early June!

Are there anymore reports of that winter? What sort of weather patterns do you think occured that year ?

[Winter Wonderland]

Some pics taken the other day. Badgers didn't like the crunching snow much,always known soft snow in their short lives.

[East Anglia & South East Cold Spell Discussion]

Hi Dave, got a team driving up delivering furniture today from south Essex to Peterborough = PE19! What are the conditions like today? are they going to have fun ??

"Its Snowing,its Snowing!" How many more years until we get like that here

[Have we actually Forgotten what cold is]

Went Badger watching around the 1987 snowy period! It was a nightime magical winter wonderland

The temp was -13. The Badger holes had columns of steam coming out of them,just like chimneys :o (called Huffing)

Two hours later came back home Didn't see a single Badger! They were all snug underground

[Birds]

Up to 49 bird species so far. the latest last week was a Firecrest!

Have an ancient wood next-to my house and a farm behind. It all comes down to watching and feeding, with

lots of wild birdfood to bring them in.
