Spring is here .......

....... because there is a Chiffchaff singing in the garden! I was hanging out some washing when there it was - "plink plonk plink plonk ....." - I must say I felt quite emotional! The overwintering birds in our garden left a couple of weeks ago and I have been waiting for their summer replacements. There was one in the willows yesterday at Marloes Mere (seen whilst waiting for a Black Duck to appear from behind the sedges - first real twitch I have ever been on!) but hearing one in the garden is different.
