That's lovely Snowdrops, just shows how warm it still is, I hope it doesn't disrupt the wildlife too much.

What a lovely picture Snowy.

We have an invasion of butterflies at present - Red Admirals and what I think are Wall Browns. Lots of Ladybirds also - the warm almost hot at times weather must be enticing them out.

I watched a hummingbird hawk moth for ages yesterday. It was feeding on the valarian. Now watching a common seal play in the waves.  :D

wow Springlands! that's wonderful. last time I saw a seal was when I was on the Dart, sailing from Dartmouth to Totnes - what a lovely trip
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

We get lots of seals Plum Crumble - they breed on a small off shore island. Their calls are very haunting especially if you hear them at night.

There must be lots of fish in the bay at present as I am seeing the seals every day. Lovely to see them playing in the water.  :D

What a treat, my sister sees them on the other side of Dundrum bay when she goes for a walk that way. I always forget to take the binoculars when I go.

 I saw a squirrel from the kitchen window trying to bury a conker. Obviously they are feeling it too. I suppose in times of scarcity conkers will have to do.

The Goose Fair is to be with us soon, which prompted the memory of a squirrel dragging an entire coconut down the middle of the road!
