Comfort zone

8th January 2009, Thursday

With the freeze up well under way, many birds are stuggling to find food and water…. so i suppose I should not have been surprised to find a Moorhen taking up residence in my front garden in Rye Harbour Village. The bird bath is a favoured spot much to the dismay of our local thrushes, sparrows and starlings who all take turns in trying to get it to leave. Milder weather is on the way, I believe, and it can’t come soon enough. Although the ice is so thick in the ditches, small ponds and main pit at Castle Water that it will be sometime before its gone.
