🌱Spring is go! Fresh wild garlic leaves to turn into homemade pesto🍝

📋 Take care to identify safe leaves to eat.
📋Rub the leaves between your fingers to release the unmistakable scent.
📋And only pick the leaves, so the plants regrow!🧄

Tweet tweet! Two folks on staff today have confirmed (one by sound, one by sight) that Eastern bluebirds are officially back in Leopold country. 💙💙

What early spring arrivals have you noticed near you?

Part of my new years resolution to have as much of a positive mental attitude in 2019 as is possible given the circumstances! I think I may be on the lookout for a #signsofspring theme in the coming weeks.

I swear that today I noticed that the sun went down a bit later than before. It's coming ... SPRING!

Lungwort (Pulmonaria officinalis), sweet violet (Viola odorata), stinking hellebore (Helleborus foetidus) and spurge laurel (Daphne laureola) are some of the #signsofspring I have spotted this week #wildflowerhour

Look at this stunning carpet of violets we found by the roadside!

(I jumped over a crash barrier to admire them 😅)

View of a bare winter forest, but a mass of purple violet flowers and their bright green leaves are bursting through the dead leaves on the ground.

#signsofspring #bloomscrolling #crocuses spotted on a grassy bank yesterday.

Also the incredible wheeling flock of birds, that I tried to film.

But alas! V hard to multitask w dog in the other hand on a busy road..

Please imagine it instead. There were hundreds of them!

#Flowersofbsky #crocus

Bunches of small light purple crocuses pushing their way up through the dead stems of last year's grass. They have bright orange centres and there are 20 or so flowers per clump.

Whoahh.. ALL the cuckoos* started up this evening 🎶🎺🐦

(*4 different ones singing on a 3km walk)

Cherry blossom too! They've already blooming at lower altitudes, but we spotted the first flowers opening here.

Well, the birds think it's spring already..

Yesterday: a lone blackbird, singing at dusk.

Today: several species on our walk, more and more as the evening wore on.

!!! MIGRATING GEESE DETECTED !!!

(Couldn't actually *see* them in the rain)

But for a while, the sky was filled with their song. The flock must have passed overhead, and sound faded away to the North..
