Spring - the clues..

I listened this morning to the birds singing their socks off - it's a wonderful musical entertainment. The visiting male Blackcap joined in - such a pretty song. The Great Spotted Woodpecker that's been drumming in the same spot in the same oak tree was drumming yet again.

And then this evening the Robin and Blackbird were competing for the "top of the pops" spot as daylight gave way to evening twilight!

Another warm day with some sunshine and a bright, but not necessarily blue sky. I didn't have a whole day free so this morning I trotted off to Bushy. All the clues that Spring is now well and truly here were evident as I walked...

The Crocuses shone brilliantly..

Camelias glowed sedately..

Mahonias showed flowers, scentedly ....

Bees buzzed contentedly

The Spring bubbled tinklingly

while the squirrel paused shyly

frogs spawned enthusiastically..

and a Red Admiral shone wonderfully

(my first flutter of the season - woo hoo)

Parakeets cuddled procreatively...

Blue tits peered about hopefully..

and some look for insects hungrily

Nuthatches dashed about speedily

I headed off - contentedly....
