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.
Hazel Catkins, sign of spring
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.
Ivy, I am a big fan
Really dull day felt like it was getting dark at 3 this afternoon when I took this.
