Happy days!

We've had a lovely week of weather which consequently has made everything spring (sorry for the pun) into life. Temperatures touching 20 degrees has meant not just the appearance of seasonal flowers but the early return of birds to our area. A few Crag Martins, Bullfinches and Black Kites are back plus many of our favourite Black Redstarts are here jostling for territory! All we're waiting for now is our Swallows to return which I'm sure won't be too long.
Following the mass fly over by the Cranes last week we have only seen one more group fly over and that was only a group of 8 or 9, so it looks like that display is over until they fly south in the autumn.
