Ann
shared a Christmas card she had received from Doug Simpson, who introduced Red
Kites into Yorkshire showing some of the items which have been found in their
nests. Read the back of the card for
other extraordinary finds. Incredible!

| Gill brought a sprig of lonicera fragrantissima (winter-flowering honeysuckle) in flower |
Gill also reminded us
about the daffodil 'Rijnveld's Early
Sensation which offers cheerful colour at
this time of year. In
milder winters, or in particularly sheltered gardens, this trumpet daffodil can
be in bloom in late December or early January.
I have put a note in my diary for next year but some like the daffodil
to herald the spring. Any thoughts or personal
preferences?
