Today not only was daylight today twelve and a half minutes longer than at the Solstice but, maybe more importantly, the sun rose one minute earlier than at that time:
The Blue Tits certainly got excited, prospecting…
…inspecting…
…testing the view…
…and then actually camping out for the night:
We got excited too. The sun was shining through last year’s remains
melting the overnight ice
and illuminating new life
