Sounds stupid, but some suggest that birds and animals sense a change in the
weather!!
Yesterday and today I just get the feeling that looking at the landscape, it
almost seems ready for snow, as if nature knows it's on the way.
I can't give any logical explanation but I've sensed it before.
Maybe it's the crop circles which look like the letters G, F and S or the
cloud formation with a 1, 2 and 0, or the flock of geese in snowflake
formation.
I'm sure that Lawrence will understand.

I too am a believer in that Nature will indeed tell us what is to come? For
one thing when a Snow Bunting arrived on a local hilltop last year, it
remained for a few days and within days the hills had a crispy layer of
snow, albeit it melted soon afterwards given a bit of sunshine. Watch your
garden carefully if you're into feeding the birds because the Christmas/New
Year period always brings a surprise or two.

PS the garden is alive with activity and a group of 50 gulls have just flown
overhead.

My garden is full of fat pigeons (I'm surprised they can fly). What
does that mean?

I watch the seagulls, when they start to gather about my place
and then head towards the coast in groups not just one or two
but lots its a sign of a real cold blast on its way. About 3 days
ago this happened, so its a possibility nature is getting ready.

We shall see

You've been feeding them too much, though at least they'll be easy pray

Pray for cats? It's the pigeons who'll need your prayers, I
feel.

Yeah they've certainly been eating a lot. I haven't fed them though, they
eat the nuts off our many huge beech trees. This year has been a very
nutty year and the pigeons come by the dozen and just eat for hours on end
each day. They are like footballs with tiny heads.

You must get a lot of pigeon sh*t, have you tried firing off a gun to
scare them away?

What we have not seen for some weeks is the foxes and deer in and around
the wood opposite. Coincides with leaf cover going, so not too
surprising. By contrast, the blue and great tits were having barging
matches round the peanuts in the bird-feeder at the beginning of the
week.
