Yesterday we managed to catch a weather window!!
The wind was still cold and cutting sharp..so a mask was very useful.
We were aiming to see how the bird population was, but the smaller birds were mostly absent, apart from a couple of wrens in a sheltered spot, one buzzard that looked to be hunting mice or something, and a buzzard being chased away by a crow.
We think that this is the route of one old track between farms, and we explored further along it to where it crossed with another.
We came back by an old smallholding, Carlavrock..a Laverock is a lark.
And saw a different, noisy type of bird...
Heading back up to our village we saw the weather window closing..
Home before the light sprinkling of snow....on a frozen car...
Last night the frost had thawed, early this morning there as no frost...until we got up and the car was frozen again!!
Today we have been sorting more Stuff!!
We have two lawn mowers that we need to shift...Pirate hauled them out of the shed so that I could photograph them. Then hopefully we can find someone in the Old Lawnmower Club who might like them and give them some TLC!!
No point having a mountain of mowers when you only have a small patch at home to cut!!

My brothers would have loved those mowers in their day. 1950/60.
Hou had a lovely sunny day.
I always enjoy your walks. They remind me to look at the small things around me.
That second mower, in particular, looks potentially collectible. Love the ice on the car and the term "weather window" -- we had one of those today too!
Burrrr, looks cold, but still lovely to have the sun come out. Hope you enjoyed your outside time. Just back from a walk myself. Happy New Years
At least the mask would've stopped your nose getting frosty.
What are those 'clumps' in the trees? From faraway, I assumed they were squirrels' nests, but the one closer view of the tree, I can see that they are not at all.
Debby they are caused by a virus, specific to birch I think..there is another that does similar things with roses
