What an absolutely beautifoooooo day! Bright sunshine daffodils all out and open, and violets too. The garden is a sea of yellow and purple. Chrry blossom is out too, all pink and pretty.
I was out there at dusk and looked up to see little black flutteries flitting around - my friends the Pipistrelles!!! Out of hibernation!!
I love them and I love watching them. They also mean that I get bitten far less than I would, living next to the river. As I'm allergic to bites, that is pretty handy.
Going to get my tortoise up soon, as soon as I see signs of the hedgehogs as I think they'll be up soon too.
What is everyone up to? I hope everyone has such a great day, officially "Smiling Sunday"......

Have a lovely time Lizzy!
John Milton. Comus. Random poetry fragment related to nothing.
-2 here overnight, it's the price we pay for a clear sky at this time of year. I gave the hens their hot water bottles as I saw the forecast. Pipistrelles, though...if they are up.....
Yehhhhhhhh!
It is starting to look like Spring. Bring it on !

You're not far from me, no daffs out here and the cherry blossom is nowhere to be seen.
Our cherry tree hasn't even got any leaves on yet.
It is lovely and sunny though. I also live next to a river and the midges sometimes are cruel.
Are we singing now.....?
"...Spring is in the air......."

Do you have an otter? We do and kingfishers....
Yes, I've three wild cherry trees and one is all pink blossom. Not thick, just coming out. Elderflower and jasmine all green baby buds. Even the pear cuttings and red/black currants all all in bud.
I'll take some pics - I just love the way the daffs and violets all reach upwards and open up, I feel like that myself - sunshine is bliss.
*calls Bruce Willis.....*
We have some Otters but haven't seen Kingfishers. Lots of Woodpeckers and Nuthatch and quite a few Raptors.
I have a nuthatch (or two), just this year, lovely blue birds! Not usual this far north.
Garden is full of bright goldfinches, siskins and linnits. Lovely song too, I think that is the dunnocks, tiny dull birds, the most wonderful song - I've just seen a wren and a thrush too.
Do you have any squirrels?
It's just the big tall ones, in little clumps, the smaller white and yellow narcissi are later. Beautifulll!
