Yesterday 59 Pink-footed Geese flew N/N/W over Caldene fields probably returning to their breeding grounds in Greenland and Iceland after over wintering in the UK.
My heart was lifted as I thought, Is this a sign of the pending spring?
Then I noticed a Blue tit inspecting a nest box and with the lighter nights now starting, I thought Yes, we may well be turning the corner. Although I feel mother nature will once again turn down the temperature before the proper spring emerges.
