Snow On The Dee

A short break at Rivercatcher on the river Dee last week produced good views of two snow-white Little Egrets. They have incredible white plumage and you can see why their feathers were much sought after by Victorian Ladies. In the woodlands of North Wales we saw our first Fieldfares, Redwings and Bramblings of winter and better still, several Willow Tits – one of Britains most threatened birds. It was a great break and we especially enjoyed the larger hot-tub! All the Best for Christmas and the New Year – lets hope some decent wildlife turns up before our Green Belt disappears!
