Armchair birding

January 2nd and the clear skies of yesterday have given way to a paler shade of grey. Rain is steadily trickling down the windows and the temperature is just above freezing at around 3⁰C.  My appetite for fresh air and damp birds has shaded enough to keep me indoors at 13.36 hrs. My only sightings so far today have been from the house windows. Blackbird, Robin, Goldfinch and House Sparrow. The brisk winds that are forecast may move some birds around later today and leave some treats in store for tomorrow, if I make it over the doorstep.
