Bitterly cold weather continues, but at least it has remained dry. Down at Barshaw park today, the Mute Swan flock stands at 18, a mixture of adults and first year birds (in various stages of moult). Interestingly, a few of the juveniles were indulging in the typical "butterfly" display (see centre bird in the photo). Not many other birds about except for some Carrion Crows, a small flock of Starlings (maybe 30) and a Pied Wagtail. A few Daffodils are struggling into flower, and one of the Cherry trees is starting to bud.
