Signs of spring in late February



It's been a miserable few weeks, it seems. Not that cold, but too many grey, drizzly, rainy days and quite a lot of windy days and I haven't been cycling as much as I usually do this time of year. But there have been a few highlights. I saw a sparrowhawk quite close up on my way to work on the 15th February. Haven't seen one around here for a long time.
Then over the last couple of days have finally seen daffodils starting to flower and today when I checked the pond there was frogspawn - that must have arrived either last night or this morning as it wasn't there yesterday morning. Although it was wet again, it did clear up and it looks as though it might even be sunny some of tomorrow so I am hoping to do a bit of greenhouse clearing and clearning
