The spring blossom is slowly disappearing from the fruit trees, but
there are no signs of the garden birds starting to nest.
Neither of the nest box cameras have shown any activity, or have even been
used by anyone roosting overnight.
The garden is acting like it is a trance, with flora and fauna waiting
for the warmth to properly kick everything into life.
Only today has there been any significant sound of spring, with
chiffchaffs singing their unmistakable song almost everywhere. It’s s lovely
song to hear and ensures everyone knows spring is coming.
There has been no sign of any caterpillars recently, and the general
insect life appears to below in numbers; again the spring warmth will surely
bring many out.
A bee has been spotted on this lovely flower, taking a rest or possibly
just struggling to get enough energy to enjoy the spring sunshine.
The long tailed tits are still making daily visits to the bird feeders,
with the fat snacks proving to be the most popular.
When they stop coming to the garden will be the time I know they’ve
gone to nest and spring should be firmly with us.
Until then I think everyone in the natural world will be hoping to see
more of the sun and less of the grey clouds bringing rain.
