In and around the garden this week

I have been taking some photos in and around the garden this week and I think Spring is definitely on its way.

The pictures of the birds and the squirrel were taken from indoors so they are not a wonderful quality. Click on each picture for more detail.


One of the squirrels that visit sitting in the maple tree - lots of buds forming there.




A blackbird and a long-tailed tit in the same tree.




Bathtime for a blue tit




and this great tit has found a peanut




Robin posing!




Mr B enjoying a piece of apple.




The birds seem to be pairing off already and there are a few ruffled feathers out there as they argue about territory!


The fern has stayed this bright colour all winter - new shoots beneath I think.




The hellebore is struggling to flower in spite of the cold weather.




and finally, the snowdrops are now fully out - lovely!





No, it won't be long now.
