Still bitterly cold up here with snow on the hills but noticed today a shimmer of green on the larch trees that was not there yesterday, though winter is reluctant to let go its grip of the land , spring will slowly but surely gain the upper hand.
Should be coming up near you this weekend ,is it worth it? Have you managed to get out on the bucks yet bogtrotter?

Been absolutely amazing down in Poole
No rain and everybody looking like tomato heads with the sunburn..
Hi bogtrotter our land is about 4 miles top side of The Bridge of Cally is it ok there and how much snow is expected this weekend? We have not been able to get on the land since before Christmas I was looking forward to the trip and then saw the weather.
Its certainly a strange year JAYB no swallows here yet and I am considerably further South than you are, see plenty of Kites not at all rare here.
Have a pair of Ospreys that nest not far from here, have been seeing one fishing in the Loch every day for the last three weeks,but only the one usually see the pair fishing together up until she starts sitting, so not sure if we have a breeding pair or not this year.
Have the usual birds feeding in the garden Finches, Tits etc. quite common to have the odd Siskin feeding with them, but I have never seen so many the feeders are mobbed with them, they are out numbering all the other birds, wonder why there are so many, normally a bird of the conifer forests while resident in Scotland those seen further South are usually winter visitors, wonder if we have also had a big influx of migrants.
