In the garden at Barrow

Found this dead male bullfinch this morning, still warm, but near the house, leading me to believe that it flew into a window, rather than starved or froze.
Beautiful bird, theres been a few pair around this winter, very shy though and doesnt come to the feeders.














On the other hand, the nuthatch has been coming to the garden more often than usual.






















I'm still seeing a lot of snipe and a single woodcock flying around the back fields every day. On my travels, I'm seeing more Roe deer than usual too. I think thats just because the snow makes them more visible.
