We have been out enjoying the winter sunshine at Rufford and Clumber Parks. There have been reports of Hawfinches but we didn't catch up with them ... lots of beautiful Gold-crests; Jays; Tree-creepers and Nuthatches though so I'm not complaining!
In the garden the Snowdrops have arrived and the Primulas and Cyclamens continue to add some colour but I was delighted to find a pink Helebore Ellen (purchased from Hayloft Plants) this morning. On closer inspection I found quite a few buds and blooms out enjoying the winter sunshine with us .... and a couple of aphids!
