When out in the garden, of an evening with the dog, you can hear the Barn owls calling each other. During the day a large family of long tailed tits regularly visit the trees and bushes around the garden, that's a real delight over the last couple of weeks, and one morning this last week a chiff chaff could be heard! That was a joy all of it's own to hear the "chip shop" call, thanks Roger, that's all I hear in that song now lol 😂 The Chip Shop bird, but it's a great identifier 👍
Spring is just round the corner, the early daffs are starting to grow up and perhaps after the next weekend, they will show their heads as they emerge from the edges of fields and folks gardens. It won't be long before we're sat outside, more often, on warmer days and evenings, listening to birds, or the humming of the large variety of insect life that exists here or watching for the bats. The door to spring is starting to open.
