More signs of spring today with one or two of the estate Starlings attempting a few bars from the chimney tops and a Yellowhammer singing softly but repeatedly from Rosshall Farm. The latter was particularly welcome as I don't hear them every year. Lots of other birds around including a flock of 18 Jackdaws, flying around in pairs, and 3 Goosander (1 male and 2 females) fishing the riverbend just downstream of the park. Last week's flood continues to turn up some interesting finds, for instance the clump of Snowdrops in the picture above.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
