more photo's from last Wednesday (I'm working backwards it seems) from the warm afternoon in Memorial Park.

Signs of spring springing until it's sprung in the air. Or something.

Daffs (in the week of St David's Day, tree blossom and a bee on the move)

The witch hazel (_Hamamelis_) is blooming and there are bees and flies sipping from the flowers! Bonus snowdrops in the background.

More photo's from last weeks very cold walk around West Park Wolverhampton.

This time the signs of spring.

Black-Headed Gull with a black head (ok Brown head, one of the distingushing features of the black-headed gull from it's closest European relations is that it has a brown head and not a black head. Bird naming doesn't have to make sense) and the buds that are budding.

Ok. The daffodils are out. I’m going to say it. Spring is here!

4 minutes more daylight today than yesterday. Doesn't sound much but it's almost half an hour a week so things are really on the move. It's daylight when I arrive work now. #springWatch
Look at these happy little snowdrops
Please, Spring, hurry up because I am done with feeling cold all the time 🄶

A stunning carpet of white and purple at Altamont Gardens today. The moss on these old trees makes the colours pop incredibly well. Spring is definitely peeking through! 🌿

That first splash of white against the green to lift the spirits on another wild wet night on the East side of Ireland. The hills in the background were looking lovely yesterday.
