Common Sandpipers are back along the river.
Marsh Marigolds are in flower.
Siskins were seen on the bird feeders.
A Hare was on the road, as I approached it ran into a field.
Squirrels are regular visitors to the bird feeders.

My first sighting of an Osprey this year, I only noticed it because noisy gulls were mobbing it.
ian mcdonald:
After months of cold and wet weather we have had a couple of sunny warm days. The last week has brought a good number of Spring flowers along the river, many of them are invasive, non-native species.
Leopards Bane.
Tuberous Comfrey.
Bird Cherry.
Sand Martins are back for the Summer, along with House Martins and Swallows. No sign of Swifts yet.

The last two days have been hot and dry after 6 months of rain. Lousewort is flowering on a local golf course.
Milkwort is also in flower.
Sea Campion.
Gorse is full of flower, perhaps due to the wet conditions.
This is what it looks like without the rain.
