Spring begins to spring!

Nothing really exciting at Strumpshaw today, but the first Willow Warbler of the year calling and several Brimstone butterflies on the wing... Nuthatches much in evidence: I saw 6 in one eyeful! I surprised a Chinese Water Deer on the Sandy Path and a Wren shouted out his territorial imperatives! I counted at least 15 Cetti's Warblers, so the mild Winter has been kind to them, at least!
