This month isn't renown for a great deal happening in the garden and 2018 is no different with daytime temperatures of around 5 degrees, a frost whenever there are clear skies and plenty of rain and even more rain. A sunny afternoon tempted me into the garden with the camera and it didn't take long to find the early signs of spring. The squirrel and the pheasant are attracted to the bird feeder to pick up whatever the long-tailed tits, goldfinches, bluetits, robins, chaffinches and starlings leave behind.

Hopefully it won't be long before I start sowing seeds in trays in the utility room.
