I think that about the frost too. Our dog chased a bird and it dropped it's sticks apparently.

Plenty of frost here too. The water in the dog bowl has even been frozen a few mornings!

Hi Linda,
The sunny, clear and still days that have followed have been wonderful.

They do get much braver this time of year.. birds that would never even think of landing within meters of a do all of a sudden decide that sticks or fluff are worth trying for.

Hi Crunchies Mum,

The chicken water hasn't frozen over here but it is in a ceramic bowl so it would tend to keep things that bit warmer.

Kind Regards
Belinda
