It’s so cold

I’ve had to change gloves

To fill up

The birdbath

I was going to go shop,

But the fire’s on now.

Fast Food

Two crows come daily

For their monkey-nut repast—

“Heckle and Jeckle”.

n.b. I was surprised to learn that H &J were actually magpies.

Celsius

Minus twenty-two

Bird-dish rim frozen solid

Wishing for springtime

Weather Watch

Cold as a witch’s

Outside today; switching on

The gas fire again.

Bird bath

Sun bathes the landscape

Not nippy today—chipping

Sparrow takes a dip.
