What a beautiful day it was today, lots of signs that spring is here. One thing I noticed though, was that most of the frogspawn has disappeared. I saw a Mallard on the pond the other day and I suspect that he has eaten most of it!
At least 3 chiffchaffs were singing around the meadows together with all the usual birds. I notice someone has been busy putting up nest boxes, lets hope for some success with them.
A real bonus today were my first two butterflies of the season, a small tortoiseshell and a comma. The marsh marigolds around the pond are now in bloom and all the trees are covered in buds.
