Early morning sun and mist at the Big Wood Yews…….
A whole week of sunshine has been very welcome and also suggestive of Spring. Whilst there are some signs that Spring is making a start others seasonal indicators indicate that winter is still reluctant to let go.
Swaths of Snowdrops can still be found…

But buds show no signs of bursting any time soon on the trees.

One of our bird nest boxes shows signs that someone is trying to establish ownership but at the moment no one is home. But the Ivy has started it climb up the garden fence in search of the warmth of the sun….
But with sunny starts to the day like this I am certainly not complaining
