Proof it's still winter, 26th March, 2013.

In case you hadn't noticed from the below freezing temperatures, the patches of snow on the ground, and the knife-like blasts of easterly winds making it necessary to wear two hoods when out walking, here's a dodgy photo of a Redwing in Gheluvelt Park taken earlier today just to confirm that it is still winter.

Redwings normally fly away when approached by a big ugly cold bloke in two hoods but, today, they were so cold they couldn't be bothered. 

They usually return to Iceland or Scandinavia by the start of Spring but they'll be here 'til late May (if not June) at this rate.
