Springwatch?
Mar. 8th, 2011 12:30 pmThe weather's odd at the moment. All the visual clues shout SPRING! but it's freezy cold, with morning frosts for the first time since Christmas.
For future reference, I thought I'd monitor spring:
Snowdrops out for ages
Crocuses out for a good few weeks
Small daffodils fully out, almost beginning to look past it
Big daffodils fully out in most places and with thick yellow buds elsewhere
Not seen tulips yet
Hawthorn bushes covered with small green leaves
Woodpeckers been yaffling for weeks, and blackbirds in summer plumage since January
Forsythia started going yellow a few weeks ago and now a blaze of flowers
A tiny number of wallflowers are in flower, but most aren't
