Lots of cuckoos calling this morning, caught glimpse of a few. Lots of other birdsong. Warm, sunny the best of the day and still didn’t meet a soul. Sweet Woodruff and bluebells under the trees. It clouded over a bit, but we saw a couple of Small Heath butterflies. A jay.
We has a nice gentle stroll from Dawsholm up the River Kelvin to the vet school and Maryhill Road.
Lovely sunny day, it really feels like summer now. Plenty of butterflies out, orange tips and whites.
Bluebells in the woods along with garlic mustard and wild garlic. Everything green and lush. A few trout rising on the river. Watched a goosander fishing, and saw a heron sunning itself.
Ardinning Arrived before 8. Cloudy, a breeze sun occasionally warming. Comfrey, bluebells, bracken unrolling. Mallard ducklings, a dabchick, a woodpecker. Larks & curlews singing & calling. A couple of ravens. Trees greening, fresh beech. One or two cuckoos. Apple blossom.
First Hawthorn 2021 for me. Hallelujah

Either Cherry Plum or Japanese Cherry according to PlantNet. Cold March Wind today.
Spring? Blossom in the park this morning.

The snow in the park melted to show rather bedraggled crocus. The first I’ve seen this year. A welcome bit of colour on a drench day.
The first snowdrops I’ve seen in 2021 a bit later and a bit muddier due to all the rain but so welcome.
