April Moments

The Wood Mouse thinks bird ground feeders were a good innovation

Shortly we will be surrounded by more daffodils than is healthy for the gaze but the first few are welcome

They are late this year. Our bees are looking forward to them; meanwhile they are enjoying the heather

Wonder if they will be interested in the Fritillaries

We now see Bumblebees as intolopers

Seed beds in preparation

and some salad already growing

Violets are always exciting

The cordoned cherry, which will be the centrepiece of Polytunnel Zenith, is teasing with a first hint of blossom to come

We lamb late up here but some ewes are already wearying of their springing offspring

We have released seven hedgehogs brought into protection as Autumn juveniles. They have rejoined the local community which passes in the night

Tarragon also recovers from hibernation

as do the ferns beneath the vine

Territory wars are at full throttle
