All wildlife struggles to survive when seasons go awry. I've just sent Easter Greetings in the form of a new photograph of a robin not much different from the one sent at Christmas.
Those mammals that get underground may have some protection from wind and cold but still need nourishment. The deer herd, mainly hinds, have been out in some of the most persistently severe conditions and they were here this morning doing what they could, with the wind on the other side of the slope but still able to feel the sun's warming. They eat what they can. Bramble is around and one or two greener shoots are just accessible.
