Frosty November

Britain has its earliest snowfall for 17 years. Except for Congleton, which is in a rainshadow and never gets much more than a relatively light dusting.

A Great Northern Diver has arrived on the Mere. It has not managed to wander in front of my camera lens, however.

Spotted this month, a couple of Wrens by the butterfly pool (too quick to capture on film), a single Great Crested Grebe bobbing aimlessly alone, and 2 additional cygnets have flown in with whom the resident youth does not appear impressed.
