Pam got a smart new bird feeder.......M thought that his five Grey Squirrels would love it. So far, we've only seen a Blackbird feeding from it - 'our' two Greys are sporadic visitors thank goodness. We both enjoy watching the squirrels' antics but not their effect on the feeders!
Sara's Christmas fruit basket from M and S did not arrive until Thursday the 27th. It looked great and the large grapes are both seedless and sweet.
Friday the 28th's pager report of a Dipper at Ebridge, 2 miles towards North Walsham, sent us out to the car. Bob and friend were peering downstream past the mill as we approached. He immediately came over to point out the bird which was huddled on the muddy bank, its back to us, under a bramble.I took a couple of photos of the nominate race, Black-bellied Dipper from the car and through the rails of the bridge. Well done Bob, a good find.
Awful light. I'll have another go when there are fewer people and more light - if it stays. They often are long stayers if the habitat is suitable. I and S saw it at Briggate Mill yesterday. Not far as the bird flies. It's back at Ebridge this morning on another dull and damp day.
