Today, with warm sunshine, it really felt as though spring had arrived. Here’s a few photos from the garden, in keeping with the season. My favourite is this first image of a bee on the White Icicle flowering currant shrub.

Kestrels are very common locally, but it’s unusual for one to fly over the garden. They usually keep to the more open fields on the Downs which I suspect is where this male was headed.

And of course there has to be a fox. Lopa (our friendly vixen) is clearly nursing a litter. Whether we will ever get to see them is more uncertain but she’s doing well.

  1. Hi Paul,
    Nice to see you back at blogging, I missed your posts. And, strangely, I didn’t get the notification for this post but I did for the next one.
    And, as always, your photographs are great!!!

    1. Thanks Darko! I thought I had sent a notification for this post, but maybe I didn’t! I’ve been making various changes to the back end so things may have got a bit confused here. Should all work fairly smoothly now.

  2. Ah, welcome back! Great to see Lola and nice shot of the kestrel.

    1. Thanks Adele! Hopefully not a false dawn in getting back to the blog. I need to get more varied content though.
