Spring Watch


I saw the first Swallow of the year yesterday - it must have wondered if its navigation system was up the spout, it is so cold still. And today the first butterfly, a Red Admiral I think: it was hard to tell it was flitting so quickly to get somewhere warm.

In the garden we have blue tits nesting in one box, great tits in another, and a big fat Wood Pigeon nesting on the side of the house.

I have started to plant out some veg [peas, beans, spuds, lettuce] even though it seems a bit cold for them - this could be an error, time will tell.

The photo is from Fairburn - this will definitely make the cut.
