A bergenia and a few celandines

the camellia is fully out now

there are masses of violets

and some pretty cowslips

I was delighted to find this fritillaria - only ever seem to get one

our magnolia tree is now in full flower and looks magnificent (I took this picture from an upstairs window)

In the pond the tadpoles are growing fast

this frog is only about 2 inches long - must have been one of last year's

The colourful goldfinches like to feed here

and so does the squirrel

Mr Blackbird likes a daily dip

and who do you think this is having a bath?

Robin had a good soak!and later when we were in the garden we were able to hear him singing - lovely.
