Sad, blowing, wintry weather.  I think I saw an house martin.  There is a bird of the black-bird kind, with white on the breast, that haunts my outlet as if it had a nest there.  Is this a ring-ouzel?  If it is, it must be a great curiosity; because they have not been known to breed in these parts.
