If you read my post this time last year, you may be able to guess what this is:

I caught it outside my front door at five-thirty yesterday morning, singing a ditty with five of its friends. They all looked equally as scary!
When they were done yodelling they wished me all the best for the coming new year and were on their way with a great hullabaloo* - to scare off any evil spirits.

When I finally woke, I went down into the village and took a few pictures.

*The German word is almost as nice: 'Tohuwabohu'
