Froggies have been a courtin' in my pond too, noticed the spawn a few days ago but I didnt hear the nighttime racket they made (thankfully) because my hearing has become so bad.

Buds were developing nicely 23 rd Feb, there was a frost a couple of days later which (thankfully) hasnt buggered them up. Not exactly developed fully in the following 2 colder/windier weeks but getting there and should be in full splendour soon.

Re: Spring Photographs 2024
Not quick enough to get a photo but - I saw my first butterfly off 2024 yesterday. As usual, in the area I live, it was a Brimstone (male in this case). Im not sure if they're quite so widespread in northern England/Scotland but very common in Hampshire. Not my photo but...

Re: Spring Photographs 2024
ALP, have you been noticing more curlews this year? I'm not sure whether I've been lucky, or if they are doing a little better, because I've heard more calling than last year while out on my local patch. I hope so, because they are on the Red List. Sadly fewer lapwings, though, as per.
Re: Spring Photographs 2024
Certainly more Curlews round here ... we often see them when we go for a walk up on LP moor and driving to Skipton.Clovius Boofus wrote: βMon Apr 15, 2024 8:44 amALP, have you been noticing more curlews this year?

This is good to hear. They may have had a decent breeding season last year. Let's hope it continues.

Re: Spring Photographs 2024
I'd say they've nested lower, which makes them more noticeable. Agree about the Lapwings.Clovius Boofus wrote: βMon Apr 15, 2024 8:44 amALP, have you been noticing more curlews this year?

Saw our local Hen Harrier female with a Lapwing, which ain't gonna help.
