We don't have snow this morning, but Shrewsbury is under threat of inundation. I love the way you've captured the elements of a chilly breakfast, Doug.

Thanks very much Amelia. Been watching developments in the Shrewsbury area on the TV. Can't imagine what it must be like to live with such a threat to your home. Hope things do not turn out so bad as predicted.

All the best, Doug

Superbe effet avec cette pluie ******
Bonne semaine.

Thanks so much for your kind comment Malik. It was actually snowing.

All the best, Doug

I think your picture is very good, because it shows in a vivid way how nature has behaved...

Thanks very much Udo, I'm happy that you like it.

All the best, Doug

C'est l'heure de manger

Indeed so Kama! Thanks so much for your visit.

All the best, Doug

A cracking shot Doug. Poor little starlings, - but at least they had a good breakfast and gave you a great photo opportunity. We used to get them at our feeders but not for a while now. You knew the instant they arrived as they were so noisy, squabbling amongst themselves constantly. It looks like the only chattering they are doing here is with the cold! I hope the weather improves for you soon.

Thanks so much for your kind comment Carol. They are born survivors, always the first to the feeder in the morning. This was taken after the initial rush so it was a little quieter;-) The snow did fall for long and has now gone apart from on higher ground.

All the best, Doug

I love this shot Doug, and it sure does sum the morning up well! No snow down here unfortunately. Good to see that you look after the birds in such conditions.
Have a good week ~ Rosa.

Many thanks for your kind words Rosa. Most of the snow has gone now, just blowing a gale again!

Have a good week also, Doug

All the best, Doug
