Lots of #insects emerging with the sunnier weather locally. Brimstone butterflies in the garden this morning, a few solitary #bees around. Need to keep a lookout for #beeflies

Good morning

A view of the Lud's Church chasm in late winter sun

Liverworts growing on the walls of Lud's Church, a chasm in the gritstone near Buxton, UK.

1st brimstone butterfly of the year just now, a male flying strongly in the sun

I would recommend getting a guide book or arrange to go with an experienced birder. I found this website that might be useful

Erop uit in Friesland

In the cemetery today:

Air still chill despite the sun
Dunnock & Robin singing
A collared dove launches wings whistling into the air
First blossoms of cherry, petals creased like crumpled bedclothes
Crocuses battered by the recent rains
