Halcyon

After a good day, more rain and tulips through the rainswept window.  It then stopped and the flowers had raindrops on them.

What a difference a day makes.  Over an inch of rain yesterday.  Sun this morning.  Sedge warblers, a curlew, red kite, swallow and a dozen wheatears. An oystercatcher. Tufted duck. The Patricia off the coast. And cliff fall at Easton Bavents.

Rain stopped play.

The green alkanet is blooming. Yellow archangel also on the roadside. And the wych elm is greening.

More wheatears passing through. First swallow have seen this year not in flight Song thrush busy feeding Escapee piglets Wren about to take flight

Two wheatears this morning looking like highwaymen.

The first ducklings of the year on the lagoon. Mallards asleep on the car park
