Ice Crystals

Thursday, December 23rd 2010

The ice crystals from yesterday have been beautifully captured by Elizabeth's photo below. Ice crytals

The crystals have not yet melted but have been hidden by a covering of hail and snow this morning.

On the moorland the trees were in stark contrast to the blue sky.

The birds are very much in evidence at the moment. As well as Long-tailed Tit, we have been seeing Brambling, Bullfinch and Goldfinch.

A Stoat was also seen at lunchtime.
