I like to keep it quiet as they don't like being disturbed too much.Adrian Duttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334741096316486329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3901749156942623520.post-82424779003820307002013-04-15T11:01:26.206+01:002013-04-15T11:01:26.206+01:00Enjoyed the blog thanks, wish I could find these e...Enjoyed the blog thanks, wish I could find these elusive characters. Nice photos too! <br />Fantastic feeling the warm air again yesterday and to have swallows flying above whilst warbling away. Bumble bees out and also peacock and comma fluttering around. Also, wild flowers coming into bloom, nice to see the speedwell and some hedgerows with hawthorn finally coming to leaf. Ploughman's Wood normally carpeted with wood anemone this time of year - not yet but maybe soon!<br />Came across 2 bufo bufo mating (guess that was what they were doing - size difference remarkable!) on the Lambley Dumbles path. <br />A few buzzards and a lapwing displaying in the dumbles (I think they are known to have bred in this area before). Spent a half hour last week watching a short-eared owl quartering in the fields next to Spring Lane Farm - I know they have been quite active in the ex-pit areas this year so nice to see one even closer to town. <br />Joys of Spring eh!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
