                                        As you can see our unsettled weather continued through November with only 5 dry days in the month! In two days time the Winter Soltice (21st December) will occur where the period of  daylight is the shortest of the year.From then on daylight increases to a maximum on the 21st June ( Summer Soltice).Birds respond to increasing daylight by singing (in preparation for breeding).Between now and early January listen out for the 'tiss wit'call of the Great Tit,a sure sign that spring is on the way!
