Freezing weather with some snow, but not as bad as some parts of the UK. I've abandoned the trail camera for quite some time apart from the odd night, but picking nothing interesting up apart from the occasional rabbit and a rat under the bird table. Two nights ago there was enough snow to show tracks and I saw that a badger had come to the house. I felt a little guilty that I haven't put food out for a long time, since I'd stopped picking the badger up on the camera. No doubt the birds have dropped enough bits to attract him back so the next night I put out a few peanuts and set up the camera, but true to form, nothing but a rat and then lots of birds first thing in the morning to clean up the peanuts.
I did attempt to retrace the tracks back up the lane with my daughter, but we got so far along the lane and then had to turn back as it was so cold, probably about minus 1 or 2 degrees. We could have just carried on following back down the lane to goodness knows where, but too far, too cold!

Love these two Woodpeckers on the feeder
Starlings are such characters! Cheeky Nuthatch makes a quick appearance too, although is always a regular on the feeders.
