Dear Trogons

Thankfully, here we all are - Christmas 2016.  It's been a year dogged by the weather - too dry, then too wet but inbetween, lots of lovely sunshine and singing of our beloved birds.

True to tradition, this friendly Red-capped Robin-Chat in our garden wishes you a wonderful Christmas and holiday time.

 
 Wishing you all a healthy and happy 2017.
