In the garden this week

There is lots to see in the garden now and even though the daffodils are almost over there are plenty of other spring flowers appearing almost every day.


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.
