Snow in the Lincolnshire landscape



With the return of 'normal' winter conditions, that many of us used to enjoy in years gone by we have had some really beautiful days here in Lincolnshire over the past month. With miles of uncluttered countryside and green lanes to walk along the beauty of the snowy landscape makes a day out with the camera really worthwhile. Flocks of buntings and finches are now joining the winter thrushes, to feed on the nearby game food crops, which have been planted for their benefit to see them through the winter. Recently we were treated to a rare sight - a visiting Great Grey Shrike came to the barn field next to the garden and sat out in the sunshine giving great views.


The farmhouse is open for bookings from early May and the barn conversion should be available later in the year. Watch this space!




Here in Lincolnshire we don't have 'bad' weather. Enjoy rain, snow or sunshine and visit us here for a great holiday break in the countryside.


Or if you really want to get back to nature you can join our August or December expeditions in central Africa and camp in the wilds for a month http://www.biosearch.org.uk/
