We had snow too which eventually turned to rain.

At least it had your nest box to stay in or it would have been even worse out in the open. So glad to see this warm weather in the last couple of days, it's been such a nice change Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064008068263914875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-40492604953508139282013-02-15T08:32:46.349+00:002013-02-15T08:32:46.349+00:00Poor mite.

And what would happen next morning? Would it simply fly off as soon as it warmed up a bit. From someone living in the tropics it's really hard to imagine!mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230845410313320080noreply@blogger.com
