Here in Lleida<\/strong> we’re going through a bit of cold weather, or rather it is going through us. The radiators are on, and so are the vests. From my office window I can see white icing on the mountains of Montsec<\/strong>. Grey Wagtails, Chiffchaffs and Black Redstarts are the birds<\/strong> that visit the square and gardens behind our flat every winter.
