Merry Christmas to all my followers, especially to Ed Wilson, Don Young and Martin Newman, who have been very kind in their comments about the Blog and with Ted's antics this year.
Not much today, as I prepare Christmas Dinner for the masses who are about to descend on the Cottage. So all my bird watching today was looking out of the kitchen window, with the occasional excursion to the food waste bin outside.
