x-posted to backyard_birdsIt started to snow on Friday. And snow. And snow. And snow. And snow some more. It figured that the weather would turn so severely after some lovely, melty, blue sky days just when I planned to go birdwatching with my friend. She's been enjoying weekend birdwatching trips and I have been so envious of her photographs! With a winter

Good for you, for making the effort! We had a week of having to wake at 4:30 to be out birding by 5:30 while on holiday recently. I was awake at 5 for two weeks after that, which was great!

There's a lot of value to getting up a bit earlier and getting that extra bit of time in. Our guide told us that one of the groups gets up at 2:30am to make the dawn chorus in spring. I'll have to try that soon.

It was certainly an effort - sometimes it's easy to get stuck in complacency.

Where did you go birding?
