30th March, 2013...Waxwings in Furness!!

We finally got out and about today, even though Steve Hillman fitted in a wedding too! Sparkling sunshine but only 5 degrees celsius- envious of Sara, who is in Florida today!!

 

 

Still a lot of snow banked up on the roadsides around here, from last weekend.

 

We spotted about ten Waxwings in the trees near our house today... we were just on our normal route, over by the green on Dunmail Raise, and there they were, roosting in a tree!!

 

 

UNBELIEVABLE!!

Lots of new sheep families in the fields around the Abbey at the moment. What horrifying stories they were about sheep and lambs being buried alive in snow drifts! Poor things!!

 

Don't forget the Easter Egg Hunt at Abbey Mill tomorrow. Steve Hillman hid the eggs, so here are a few clues...!

 

 

SPRING FORWARD with the clocks TONIGHT!!
