Christmas at Cromwell
Well we went down for a quiet visit Christmas day & Boxing day & saw the most amount of visitors ever. Nice to see so many new faces & Doggies!
all the usual suspects Tit's, Robins, Dunnock's, Chaffinches, etc.

We have a Lonesome female Lesser Redpoll pops down now & again:
Usually the stars are the bullfinches up to 6 males & 5 females sometimes, here's one of the males on the table:
Great Spotted Woodpecker's struggled to get down to the feeders with our many visitors, still a bit shy & like it quiet:
But the new stars are the Jays - enjoying raiding any peanuts they can find:
Looking for the next ones:
Who looks sulky?
Swear this ones smiling:
Struggling to get any more in:
A lot of people enjoyed their first close encounters with Jays on Saturday, but they can get through a lot of peanuts!
Also - One has some Jewellery! (leg ring) - I wonder where it got it?

Halifax Scientific Society Xmas Social. Tuesday the 10th of December
All the members of the CBWG are welcome to join us for our Xmas Social on Tuesday 10th December at 7.15pm at Halifax Central Library, even if you're not a HSS member.
You might want to look at some of our books and collections before we have to drastically reduce them (by 50% it has been said by the Council ) in readiness for moving to the new library when it is built.
There will be bring-and-share cakes, biscuits etc to go with the tea and coffee. Some of it will hopefully be home baking.
"Old Tag" - I have found the page in volume 8 of the Halifax Naturalist that repeats the story of the headless man driving the chariot with a two-headed horse who gave his name to Tag Cut.
( Very scientific ! :-)
