There are probably another 6 weeks before we see the trees coated in
fresh green, the blossom well out, and fields of yellow rape.

| Swallow |
Already
the first sand martins are returning to Devon and there has even been a
report of a returning swallow in Devon. It will probably be into April
before I spot swallows up here in East Anglia. Usually I see my first
swallows here April 7-14th. Swifts are not usually seen (by me at
least!) until the end of April.
See

These returning migrants bring joy to my heart: long after I am gone
they will still be doing this journey as their ancestors have done for
thousands of years. I admit there have been times when I never thought
I'd see this spring.
