Returning from a 5 day trip to Iceland where it was very snowy and still in the grip of winter, it was interesting to see how quickly things change once the temperature rises. Along the roads were frothy Blackthorn bushes, in the garden there were clumps of daffs and crocuses, the Camellia is smothered in red flowers, the Hellebore bed is full of nodding heads and the first Fritillaries were showing their droopy heads.
Across the marsh the Bewick's had gone and the first Wheatears had arrived on the point.
The heather bushes in the front are covered in bees and at least 2 Small Tortoiseshells have been feeding on the flowers.
Unfortunately we seem to have lost our frogs over the last few years and there's no sign of frogspawn.
