The ornamental plum in the sheltered part of the back garden is coming in to blossom. That’s at least a month earlier than usual. A couple of daffodils now in bloom along with snowdrops.

Two reports in Essex today of swallows. One in Frinton, the other Langham, both N. Essex. I've not seen one.

Last week was balmy with a real temperature rise that brought the bumble-bees out in force, so this week we're down to 2°C overnight with dead bees here & there.

Maybugs crawling on the cycle path between here & the next village. They didn't look too happy after the 1.5° overnight temperature.

Jan and I saw our first swallows last Saturday, somewhere in the Teifi valley not long after leaving Basil’s house. We have seen a few since, but nothing like the vast numbers we saw here in April last year.

Three or four times this morning I've heard the swifts screaming overhead here in Saarfend, but haven't seen them yet.
