And another one.
On a lighter point from my other posts so far today, I not only saw my first bumblebee of the year, I also found my first frog spawn on my lunchtime dog walk around Victoria Park in Glasgow. Both are good signs Spring is finally here.
This is the closest I’ve ever got to a Little Egret without getting wet feet.
They are thoroughly elegant birds.

By the 1860s, he'd established an extensive nursery in Tooting in London and had become known as the Daffodil King due to the number and varieties he grew. He sougth out forgotten daffodils from old collections and went on expeditions, primarily to the Iberian Peninsula, to collect new ones from the wild. In all, he amassed over 400 varieties which he cultivated and classified.

This morning I saw my first daffodils of the year in Victoria Park in Glasgow. It might seem unlikely, but today's popularity of these Spring blooms is all down to a man called Peter Barr. Born in Govan in 1826, Barr became enchanted with the yellow blooms, which had fallen out of fashion in the Victorian era, partly due to the Queen's dislike of them.
