A lunchtime walk around Christie Park in Alexandria produced a pair of Mistle Thrushes defending their territory against a pair of Magpies. What was presumably the male chased them off, then resumed sentry duty at the very top of a tall Douglas Fir. Lots of Blackthorn was in flower in the adjacent hospital grounds. Later, a Sparrowhawk disturbed the pigeons at Loch Lomond Galleries as it soared around the tower. Back home, the early flowering Plum tree is approaching it's best and a good-sized newt was in the garden pond. After several years without Frogs in the pond, I have opened up a bigger gap under the adjacent garden fence to see if it will entice them in. Lastly, a tiny moth was attracted to the porch light.
