Latest observations
Great to see the first brimstone butterfly and bee-flies today, hawking from one primrose flower to another (they're quite late really), with blackcaps, willow warblers and native birds singing...and maybe even a distant cuckoo. The odd bluebell was flowering along the cycle track where sunny and warm.
Bee-flies are interesting as they mimic bees but have no sting as they are flies! They're a real sign of spring seeking early nectar.
