That must be an amazing sight    We haven't seen anything like the usual numbers of geese here this winter, presumably because for so long all was frozen solid and under a foot or so of snow.  I wonder if the geese were able to get to the SW coast.  Maybe your geese will come our way - I'll let you know.
(btw the ground is unfrozen now so it's possible for me to dig up the comfrey......) The sun is shining here but I don't believe it means spring is coming, or not for a few months anyway - it's just a lovely interlude to help us carry on.

of course encouraging wildlife into your garden/veggy patch means you need to use no chemicals because pests are eaten.
i have done wildlife gardening courses and have plans for houses for bugs birds and small mammals if anyone wants copies il email them over.
[must dig them out  so be patieant with me. please]

Here in France we are getting skeins of cranes flying over. I love the sound they make and it's one of the first signs winter is starting to release it's grip. In the UK the wildfowl place at Slimbridge spent a small fortune trying to re-introduce Cranes to the UK they haven't been there for a few hundred years. They where about to release some when a small group appeared in Suffolk on their own ha ha I bet they were p**sed off. This is a sign nature looks after itself if people stop interfering.

Four Roe deer grazing outside this afternoon, just before dusk.

I think my sheep are too generous about sharing!
