I would consider a little concussion a good price to pay for getting into a close acquaintance with such a handsome fella.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-24288705740585407162017-01-07T00:38:49.837+00:002017-01-07T00:38:49.837+00:00The Serpentine starts to freeze when there is a ha...The Serpentine starts to freeze when there is a hard frost and no wind. If there is any wind, the waves stop the water from freezing, except maybe in sheltered corners. The Long Water, protected from the wind by surrounding trees, freezes much more readily.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-42729243096499934892017-01-07T00:19:38.715+00:002017-01-07T00:19:38.715+00:00Moorhens have amazing feet don't they!

But I don't think the Coal Tit is interested in the blossom. I stand in front of the bush in the hope that the bird will make a pretty picture by perching in it before collecting a pine nut -- from the stone pine <i>Pinus pinea</i>, in which Coal Tits are very interested indeed, as the seeds are one of their favourite foods.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-85099170573898181022017-01-06T20:13:50.536+00:002017-01-06T20:13:50.536+00:00The Coal Tit seems to have an interest in botany. ...The Coal Tit seems to have an interest in botany. I think the blossoming shrub in the background is Viburnum farreri or Viburnum x bodnantense. Both species bloom from November to March (their flowers are often fragrant!).Justyna C.noreply@blogger.com
