The snow is just about gone, although we are due another blast of cold from the East again this weekend. No snow forecast, thankfully. Yesterday, however, one of my favourite heralds of Spring arrived - the Curlew. A lovely wading bird which spends its winter by the shore and moves inland to breed in the grasslands and moors around us. They will now spend a lot of time in the air calling for mates and declaring territories. I will now spend more time in the garden preparing the vegetable patch to the accompaniment of their calls. Wonderful!
