Spring into Christmas....

I didn't think I'd have any time for a posting until after Christmas, but work is a bit quiet today, so in my tea break a quickie, because this morning I was amazed to see lambsies-a-gambolling in a field near the M5 at Clevedon (North Somerset).

Coupled with the Celandine in flower on the 21st in my garden, a bat flying around the garden last night, spring bulbs about 2 inches high in the pots, a Robin singing last night by the Cathedral and a Raven displaying over the garden at the weekend, it's all springing into Christmas nicely.....
....... I'm definitely going now, have a wonderful Christmas all, and I hope some of you at least will take up the birding challenge in my last posting (20 Dec). Whether it's only one species seen from the car, or major finds, it'll be fun to read. I'll leave you with this very cute photo from a Kiwi reintroduction organisation in New Zealand.
