Snow at New Year

Looking across Lundin Golf Course and the village of Lundin Links to a snow-capped Largo Law.

A bitterly cold and icy start to the New Year with frequent snow showers and temperatures not rising much above zero during the day and sub-zero at night. While the main roads are being kept clear the side roads and pavements are treacherous. In our street we've long since used all the grit in the bin, and there is no sign of it being filled up again in the short term.
Putting food out for the birds two or three times a day as well as keeping the feeders and bird-bath stocked up. Lots of starlings, also blue tits, great tits, chaffinches, gold finches, dunnocks, blackbirds, and wood pigeons. We also have a robin, that we've nick-named thuggy as he tries to repel all comers, even birds several times his size.

Looking across Largo Bay to a snow storm over East Lothian.
