Still no sign of snow, only very light frost first thing on a few mornings. It was, however, too cold to do much work in the garden as I am still in pain from my broken wrist and the cold does not help. The birds were frequent visitors to the bird feeders and kept us amused with their antics. The highlight of the month was a visit form a sparrowhawk.
