Bright, clear and going to be relatively warm too. May be forced to give lawn first haircut. Bird life picking up. Spotted woodpecker was doing the hammer-drill thing this morning. Sparrows have colonised one of our hedges and make a hell of a racket, shouting at each other all day. Some geese seen down by sea, filling up with fuel before heading off back north. And a medium sized flock of small waders (knot?) munching away by the beach.
