Spring continues to bloom in Radford Semele, although I am only getting a few fleeting opportunities to see it unfold :-(In the garden, the daffodils are gradually fading; in a matter of days they will be replaced by the few tulips that I have. Bird song still wakes me every morning, most notably our resident song thrush. He might be a bit early for my liking, but at least he is more musical than the house sparrows living in my loft space!
Meanwhile the two jays have become regular garden visitors for the first time ever (one pictured left), and there are signs that we might have breeding blue tits again, possibly in our bird box.
This morning saw a real spring landmark though - my first village swallow of the year, flashing past the front of our house at 10am this morning.
Bird of the week: Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica); agile, beautiful and a quintissential bird of the British spring and summer.
