Very windy, dry and sunny all day. Temperature reached 14c this afternoon. There was a chill factor today.
A day in the garden. Roses pruned and border tidied of autumn leaves and general winter rubbish.
Fallen twigs and small branches from the gale  force wind of the last few days collected up and now added to the twig pile.
                   Male sparrowhawk visited the garden at breakfast time, was a little windswept. Female great spotted woodpecker also in the garden. Birds beginning to pair up now going by their movements. Plenty of moss in the lawn for nest building.
Lots of bees enjoying the sun today mostly in the alpine area.
