Spring flowers were the bonus today, including: Wood anemone, Common dandelion. Green alkanet, Forget-me-not, Lesser celandine and even a few Bluebells. Ramsons were not in flower yet, but their presence was noted, including their occasional odour!
Birds seen or heard today included: European robin, Common blackbird, Wood nuthatch, Song thrush, Chiffchaff, Great tit, Common chaffinch, Grey wagtail, Common pheasant, Coal tit, Blue tit, Winter wren and Great tit.
Good conditions underfoot, but my boots still needed cleaning!
Too early a finish to visit call in for refreshments a local hostelry, so I had to wait for a refreshing glass of Gwynt y Draig Black Dagon cider after cleaning my boots!
