It was one of those days when you feel the season has changed. Bluebells were out all over though I swear I saw none yesterday! Calliphora were abundant on every sunny stone - vicina and vomitoria. And where last week there was a bee or two they are now buzzing here there and everywhere.
Keeps the numbers ticking along anyway. Soon individual pots will be replaced with a WatDon big ol' cannon pooter and my backlog of unidentified flies will start to look vaguely intimidating.

Unlike here where windchill brought it down to about 3 or 4 degrees max and nothing other than birds, leaves and the occasional branch flying about.
ReplyDeleteWell, it was windy, but the woodland here is sheltered at the right angle
