Swallows arrived last week...
We have few nests on street every year and they make such a show of their arrival that one just cannot missed them
They fly low between houses..twisting and turning...it is wonder they don't bash on anybody's windows....and after their arrival notice they take off higher up and start going about the usual business...
No may blossom yet...its been bit cold for that and many things are still little late with the development.
Birds are looking good this year
Those species that have been struggling last few years...mainly various tits...are really blossoming, their colours look clear and bright and feathers shiny and there is plenty of them about
LOADS of blackbirds...and they are so bold and fearless this time of year..for annoyance of my dog who cannot stand any birds that flaunt their presence from almost catchable distance. As soon as they see you disturbing soil...they are there, waiting to get stuck in too and getting plenty of worms to feed their young.
Oh roll on spring...I can feel it in my water that this is going to be superb growing year..for us gardeners as well as our feathered friends..
