It is snowing (also this year ) !

Again, also this year, punctually in February the snow visits us .

All media  advised us. They told about very, very  low temperatures and too much snow … it was true.

It started on Tuesday afternoon and it lasted till the late afternoon of Wednesday.

Then it came again during the morning of Thursday and a little bit during the night of Friday .

My well I almost completely covered: 

  And also my poor plants, here one of my rose trees.

 

It is very cold and it is very difficult to drive since the low temperatures  iced the snow , so I have stayed  at home all this time.

I have read “The help”  by  Kathryn Stockett.

And I have observed the birds . I have put some feeds at the entrance of my home and they have come many of them.

I also have taken many pictures but not all of them are very detailed

In any case I am sure that I have seen ROBIN birds many of them

But also a new bird, never seen before. I am almost sure that it is the Chaffinch

 

Then I have checked in Internet and …

 

This bird is common and very familiar throughout Europe. It is the second most familiar bird in the U.K. Islands .

It was introduced from Britain into a number of its overseas territories in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It uses a variety of habitats, but open woodland is favored, although it is common in gardens and on farmland.
