The thoughts and observations of a regular Ridge Wood walker

Winter

As the snow falls the Ridge Wood turns, once again, into a Winter Wonderland.

I do hope that you have had a chance to walk these woods because, as in any season, there is always something interesting to discover, be it Fungi or Birds.

As I walked through the other day, there was a lot of noise from the bushes but nothing to be seen. Then about twenty Long-tailed Tits flew out singing and playing. Unfortunately there was no time to catch them on camera.

The Jay was foraging under the trees. Although a shy bird, the demands of this harsh weather force him into the open and he is often seen.

Happy New Year

Now is the time to look forward to the spring.
