    No Chiffchaffs yet here, but the first clump of frogspawn in the pond. We thought we weren't going to get any this year. It seems quite late.

    I've now finished this. A really good read - thanks. It had a wonderful narrative pace about it.

    Another (rather lonely) muntjac deer spotted on yesterday's run. I initially thought I had scared it off but after a further climb, it revealed itself again and we had full eye contact for a while before it ran off through the trees.

    Earlier, my run was brought to a halt by what appeared to be a mixed flock of finches. A lovely thing to behold at this time of the year.

    Running back home through one of the upper allotments today, I was serenaded by the lovely song from a skylark - uplifting metaphorically and literally.

    I was visiting a relative in Little Paxton, Cambridgeshire, today. I went for a walk along the bank of the Great Ouse; at one point something blue emerged a few feet away from me and flew across the river. That was actually the first kingfisher that I have ever seen.

    Whilst out cycling this morning there seemed to be flat frogs all over the roads. A sure sign of spring.

    Fantastic. You never forget your first Kingfisher sighting.
    Visibility good except in Hill Fog

    Great to see the first Osprey (the female) is back at Clywedog Reservoir near Llani Boy's home patch. Link to live stream video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Te...Gqdk3G5HXiJerg
