'Cold Snap' Visitors

During that small cold snap over Christmas/New Year - (which by the way folks were about to go back in to!) - there were a few unusual visitors - started off with 1 Redwing
Which over a few days went to 7, 9 then up to at one point 28 - twas quite funny as the resident male Blackbird was not happy at the beginning and was fighting with them all - but then I think when the numbers went up he realised that he was fighting a loosing battle.
Then came the grumpy 'Those be my apples' Fieldfare - we had about 2 thought its so hard to know as they all do look the same :) Check out the 2nd picture with the Fieldfare - the Starling beak is practically fully open
The next 'Lovely' pic was taken by my mam - shows me in my PJs which I believe I lived in during that spell making sure the birdies had sufficient food :)
