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.

Signs of Spring in the Garden

 A few days of bright, sunny weather has allowed the ground to dry out enough to mow. Lovely to see some signs of Spring emerging, bulbs, buds, heathers and herbs all beginning to grow away. A chance to finish clearing up sticks and branches from the storms last week, luckily no major damage. 

Some Spring colour, heather and miniature daffs.

Rhubarb starting to emerge!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

 

(There are ten candy canes to find on the tree!)
