Just a little reminder of what you will need to do to keep our birds and little animals safe while the snow and frost is heavy on the ground

Melting Ice


Melting Ice

A little poem to read now you have met Misti and Gely, just a little reminder, that when the Winter does arrive, we must all take care to look after the wild life during this harshness of this Season.


When Jack first hangs his icicles upon the leafless trees,
and out of mischief causes all the water pipes to freeze.

When old Dame Carey plucks her chicks up in the clouds, and lo!
The feathers flying down to earth, are changed to flakes of snow;

When everybody's nose and ears are of a scarlet hue,
Robin in Winter and everybody's toes are cold and fingertips are blue.

When everybody gathers round the ever welcome fire,
and everyone want's to stay inside, for that is their desire.

When fields and hedges in the sun are glittering with frost
In fact, to put your finger on it, the winters come at last.

For inside all is snug and warm, but outside all is cold,
and starving birds and creatures small become a little bold.

Please don't forget to scatter crumbs, and peanuts, fruit and bread
For all will need a little help, to keep colds from their head.

Melting Ice
