Spring has sprung, birds chant sweetly, piles of sticks, fur and wool I placed for nesting birds are being pulled out for use and the garden is coming to life with bulbs flowering again.

Looking forward to spring nesting, I did the Big Garden Birdwatch count. To be civilised about it, I moved the bird feeders nearer to the roundhouse a week before to accustom the birds to flying near there.
