I don’t suppose we’ve seen the last of the snow this winter, but I couldn’t quite sign off 2010 without a quick recap of those incredible snow scenes we had in December.
This black bird is one of my favourite pictures of that time.
I watched this green woodpecker trying hard to peck through the deep snow blanket. They are ground-feeding birds and I expect it was looking for an ant hill. There was 18 inches of snow on top of the ant hill and it soon gave up.
