Went for a trundle today and spent some time just looking.
I spied some celandine in flower, also a patch of primroses, mostly in bud, but a couple were in bloom.
Lords and ladies are now several inches high, which means a keen eye might just spot a few wild garlic poking noses out of the soil nearby, sure enough, I counted five plants about an inch high.
Sitting by the river, rabbits were playfull in broad daylight on the opposite bank, cock pheasants were half heartedly squaring up, and I watched a grey tree rat drinking from the river.
In the distance, a small tree has a light green fuzzy halo, which says buds are breaking. Not sure what it was, as it was too far away.
Crows are building nests already, and two more have appeared in the tree visible from my kitchen window in the past day or two, and I can hear then trying to scrape the moss from my roof to line the nests in the mornings.
I was watching them a week ago , and though flying in a flock, you could see the pairings.
Spring is definitely just around the corner.
