I made two visits to Scallows on 8th and 10th of February, to top up the feeders, photograph at the feeding station and to photograph the snowdrops and aconites. The 8yh was mild and sunny at 12C after a dull start, whereas 10th was cooler at only 7C with excellent light later. The snow drops and aconites were in their prime and looking their best. I enjoyed a happy hour photographing them. Pottering about birding after photographing the snowdrops, I was delighted to disturb a sparrowhawk at John and Judith's feeders. It was good both days to hear the great spotted woodpecker drumming. Although I didn't see either the male or female at the feeding station I could hear them nearby. There are at least two nuthatches coming to the feeding station and they are very bold and confiding. Long-tailed tits were present but only two.
