SPRING :D I heard a Yellowhammer "counting to seven" over and over in the woods I pass on my way to work this morning. Good thing you're over your cold and getting back out to catch the season |=)|

Don't they sound so cheerful when they sing... not really much of a song, but a lovely cheery, chatty sound. It carries a long way over water too.

A gorgeous picture this one Margaret, hopefully we'll see some at Aberlady;), I think it's a bit early for them up on the hills here yet.

EDIT: I hope we get an owl too!!
