Kestrel

I have been watching a Kestrel sitting on the hedge near Grandpa's tree. I think he was eyeing the bird table for visitors!

Crocuses

There are two crocuses on the hill about to flower. One is yellow, the other purple. A pheasant was in the garden this morning, The weather is very mild, I even feed the birds while in my pyjames and no coat. I hope 2012 will be a steaming hot year. Reminder - fix the pool!

Today I noticed that th Daffodils had peeped above the ground, the yellow wall flowers in the rockery are flowering and when I drove through Newport the trees in the churchyard were in full pink blossom!
