I’m not saying that I sense green shoots, but the birds definitely think that spring is on it’s way.

A flock of twenty or so long-tailed tits just breezed through the hedge outside my window. They are usually quite nervous, but this one came really close to the window and stopped long enough for me to take a picture.

They are such pretty birds, they always lighten my heart when I see them. Usually they flit around in groups working the hegerows, never satisfied, always moving on. Don’t blink or you’ll miss them.
