1st MARCH 2010

Ofically the First Day of SPRING and St. Davids Day, what a beautiful sunny morning and the day here has certainly come in like a lamb - lets hope it stays that way this month and does not go out like a lion! The birds are in a frenzie of activity around the bird feeders and I caught my first sighting this year, of a Gold Finch on the niger seeds. The Great Spotted Woodpecker, Nuthatch and all the varities of Tits are still frequent visitors to the feeders.

One of my guests thought she may have heard an early call of the Bittern. It has been heard this early so we will have to keep our ears tuned in for its BOOM.

Everywhere the grass in the fields and countryside is still looking so bleached and yellow from the long cold winter lets hope spring weather will not be too late in coming.
