Snow falling in Edinburgh and my first Blackcap of the year.

The snow has started to fall again in Edinburgh and thereā€™s been another first for the year a Blackcap –Ā there may have been 2 as one was feeding on some fatballs and another bird flew in and knocked it off, it all happened so fast I didnā€™t see if it was another blackcap. Remember if you have seen any Blackcaps during January theĀ Ā is currently running. Also addedĀ Feral Pigeon to the list today, I would have thought itā€™d be one on the list for the year by now but due to the fact Iā€™ve been stuck at home due to injury and itā€™s not overly common in our garden I hadnā€™t seen any!
