Incredible temperatures again today which are forcing spring on rapidly.
Pleased to have the Middle spot moving around home staking its territory for the first time today.
At least 2 Great spots drumming regularly now.
Blackbirds have only started singing for the last few evenings, still somewhat subdued fashion.
Yellowhammer also started singing about a week ago while the Wood Lark is a new arrival and a very welcome one today.
May be my first starlings in Liplje !

There are new flowers to be found almost by the day including Primrose, Squill, 
Wild strawberry, Trout lilly (Erythronium dens-canis) Pulmonaria, Bugle ( Ajuga reptans), Speedwell sp. and Red deadnettle. Have also seen the first cherry blossom.
