Early birds

Now that the leaves are falling everywhere It is very important to keep the bird bath clean from the seed dropped from the bird table above as well as the leaves blown into the bath. I do try and scrub the bird bath thoroughly most days to remove the debris and this young chaffinch seemed to really appreciate the clean water provided.
Driving back from Inverness today we noticed snow on the top of Ben Wyvis - a mountain to the north-east of Inverness and we hear that snow is forecast above the 1,000 ft snow line tomorrow night so we may see some white stuff on the mountain opposite Aspenwood. We were surprised to see the front runners of a gang of long tailed tits this afternoon on the peanut feeders in our garden as we don't usually see them until late December/early January...what does this all mean ?????
