Although the snow has just about gone, the heavy rain has meant everywhere is very muddy, the snowdrops growing near the nuttery by the Walled Garden are beautiful and well worth a visit.
The birds are very active on the feeders at Thornham, try to keep your feeders filled up with a variety of food. Black sunflower seeds provide high energy food, niger seeds will attract gold finches, robins, blackbirds and thrushes enjoy meal worms.
If you haven't already done so, this is a good time to clean out your bird boxes, if you don't do this then parasites living in the boxes can infect the new brood of baby birds.
