Wild January

What more can it throw at us?
Torrential rain, hail, a mini tornado, wild westerlies battering the countryside time after time and more torrential rain, clouds rushing across the sky, brief glimpses of sun with more clouds barging in to fill the space.

A starling singing under a blue sky

Throughout all kinds of bad weather, house sparrows and starlings have kept up their
singing, keeping together at all times. Only the 'mini tornado' silenced them for the few minutes
when it swept through on Saturday 25th January, suddenly darkening the landscape - a crash
of thunder and the sound of wind through tormented trees sending birds tumbling for cover.
