    they'll probably take off and then their wings will freeze and they'll fall out of the sky and die, you've killed them.:p

    my grandmother always used to get a little robin coming into her garden and after a while he actually used to hop into her conservatory and take food out of her hand. she was convinced it was my grandfather re-incarnated come back to watch over her.

    OMG, he killed my grandfather. again! :mad:

    just kidding. :pac::pac:

    If you put food on your window sills they will eventually start tapping the glass to be fed....kids love it! Robins are very clever that way.
    I don't think I have ever seen the variety of small birds that I have over the last few days.....the few yo yo's in seeds is well rewarded with a great show.

    Yeah we can enjoy the non penetrating sun for the rest of the afternoon :D We might make a balmy -2 down here today :pac:
    Just as well we got the heavy falls earlier in the month, otherwise watching that radar this morning would have been a sickner :cool:

    Still a bit sickening looking how close it came and then the snow shield pushed it back ;)

    Because the airport is closed?

    Though 'tis a bit odd that none appear to be circling around, maybe radarvirtuel is not receiving the data?

    Radar virtuel is crap, use http://casper.frontier.nl/eidw/ instead, its brilliant, only thing is theres a 15 min delay unless you want to pay.
