First signs of spring

OK, I know we're still in the depths of winter, with much to come, but spring is waiting in the wings!  It will be great to hear from you any details of these first signs be it early nesting birds, the first blossom, or a butterfly venturing forth in weak sunshine.  If you have dates from previous years for comparison, these will certainly add interest, but we'll gradually build these up in years to come.  Look forward to hearing from you - I'm sure it won't be long!

Watch out for swifts

  • Wow! Thank you all for your kind comments! :-D

    FP - thank you! How did you achieve that please? (I'm useless with editing other than cropping!)

    BBB - no special lens, but using the 'super macro' setting of the camera (Olympus SP590). I love it as it does excellent macro as well as having a big zoom (x26 optical) and good wide angle too! And best of all, it fits in my bag so comes everywhere with me!! :-)

    Hi Marjus, that is impressive, our camera is quite old hat now, a good camera in it's day, but they have come on a long way since, that's a massive zoom too.

    There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
