The end of memorable year...

This afternoon, as we walked the dog around the block in fading light, with  masses of Starlings heading off to roost in the reedbeds at Llangennech, it was strange to hear Coal Tit, Great Tit and Blackbird all singing away at the end of one of the coldest Decembers on record. Although not the most remarkable of observations, it really has been a memorable year and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to the blog over the last 12 months. There are plenty of excellent photographs and observations to look back on and I am looking forward to seeing what 2011 brings.

 

Clive Davies' stunning photo of a Treecreeper at WWT Llanelli a few days ago is a very fitting image on which to end the year.
