A walk around my home 1km square this morning produced 30 bird species (including my first singing Chiffchaff of the year), two Mammal species (Red Fox and Grey Squirrel) and one butterfly (my first Small Tortoiseshell of the year). A Sparrowhawk was displaying just over the square boundary. Incidentally, the Chiffchaff was my earliest ever (by five days). Previous years' dates were as follows: 25/03/19; 01/04/18; 29/03/17; 28/03/16; 01/04/15; 25/03/14; 13/04/13; 31/03/12; 02/04/11; 29/03/10.

"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".
