Ice Ice Baby

 It's been a bit cold - good job there are no fish in the water feature . . .

Sea Ice

The last couple of days have been bright and cold - so cold that ice could be seen at the edges of the sea, and today the shallower bit of the harbour basin (with the tide out) was completed iced over.

It's been great weather for a walk along the prom / up Constitution Hill though - needed  to wrap up warm to start with, but by the end of the walk had thawed out* and enjoyed some fantastic views.

*Probably something to do with the 'hilly' bit!

Icily Does It . . .

We haven't seen anything much in the way of snow in the rest of November, but it's remained really cold and icy.  The weekend was all freezing sunshine - and frozen garden.  The birds are really appreciating the bird feeders at the moment - peanuts, sunflower hearts, and fat balls are all going down well.


We don't see many starlings however, despite Aber being a bit of a starling hotspot - did catch one in the back garden at the weekend though, posing nicely with a daylit moon in the background:
