After working thye first part of the morniong (I would have liked to have gone outstraight away) I went for a walk around the village.
The road outside our house. Portslade Old village is a beautiful place, made all the more beautiful by the blanket of snow. There were quite a few birds around, espcially blue and great tits.
Great tits
I carried on walking to Easthill Park which had also be transformed by the snow.
I watched several grey squirrels chasing each other in the snow, scampering up trees and along branches.
As they ran across branches they scattered snow.

As I came out of the park I noticed a great spotted woodpecker fly into the park from across the road. I went back in and noticed there was actuially two great spotted woodpeckers.
The woodpeckers moved up the branches, stopping occasionally to peck at the bark. After a few minutes they flew off further into the park and dissapeared into the top of an evergreen.
