A hardy little plant, the primrose can flower from as early as December in mild years, appearing all the way through the spring until May. It favours woodland clearings, hedgerows and grassland habitats, and sometimes even gardens.

Although it was a bit wet and foggy today I went for a nice walk at Hauxley Nature Reserve @NorthWildlife which is just at the north end of Druridge bay in Northumberland. Lovely walk and some good spots including a red breasted merganser and some Goldeneye.

The redwing is a small thrush that visits the UK in the winter to feast on berry-laden bushes in hedgerows, orchards, parks and gardens. Redwings migrate here at night - on clear evenings listen out for their 'tsee' call overhead.

What colours do you associate with winter? Winter is full of bright delights. If we look closely at nature, there are incredible colours to be found, even on the most overcast days.

The 'drumming' of a great spotted woodpecker is a familiar sound of our woodlands, parks and gardens. It is a form of communication and is mostly used to mark territories and to display in spring.

A wonderfully wintry scene on Blueburn Farm on the Rothbury Estate this week.

Such a striking landscape made even more dramatic by the pure white snow and intensely blue skies!
