Yes I read that. I think she has to have a little lie down after that.

So pleased a little order is finally being introduced into Our Forum. Tired of riff-raff just posting volens nolens under whichever Topic seizes their fancy. Keep it up, Forum Police

Disgusted, Tunbridge Wells.

Saw this harlequin ladybird under a feeder lid this morning:-






I also saw the first small snail of the year on the steps and a tight wodge of nesting material larger than the size of a golf ball in the larger bird feeding house at the back of the dish of chopped peanuts and sunflower hearts in there. I removed it and put it in the ivy on the fence nearby but I'm now thinking I should have left it there and see what happened. I was thinking it may have had something to do with the squirrels though.
As well as a squirrel, sparrows and a robin have been feeding in there.

Forgot to say that the blackthorn burst into flower 2 days ago , and today I note that the silver birch buds have burst a leeeetle way to show green.
Real honest signs of Spring, at last.

Walking through a farmers field of rape seed oil, And there running in front of me, but not to fast was a hare. No mistaking the black blotches behind its ears. First hare I have ever seen.

They're not really common in my part of England but I do see them from time to time. Lovely animals.

Great spot, Willpar.
S'pose the March hare thing is over now ?? It's Family Time by now ??
Only ever seen them in Scotland but then we had a whole week of seeing them all over a particular field. Got sick of looking at them actually .......

Truly was a hareraising experience. Surprised no one else used the pun.
