In the garden today...

 This was meant to be a post about what is flowering now in the garden but I was completely side-tracked by birdwatching...

Bluetits hunting for insects...

Jackdaws feeding. One bird drops the seed to the others waiting below.

Sometimes it feels like it isn't me doing the watching!
(sparrow, jackdaw, blackbird)

Flowering in the garden now are lilac, Californian lilac, knapweed, early climbing roses, clematis, Mexican orange blossom, bluebells, forget-me-knot, strawberries, snow-in-summer, heather, daisies, dandelions and white clover.
