Quite a dull, breezy day with the wind gusting at 36mph when I left this morning. Even though it has swung round to the SW, I didn't put the moth trap out last night. I still managed one moth, as a Common Quaker had somehow found it way into the house.
I wasn't expecting anything as I headed off for work but as soon as I stepped out of the front door this morning a heard a Willow Warbler singing, as well as 2 Chiffchaff. Not only my first of the year but my first March Willow Warbler here at Waldridge, even if only just. It cheered me up no end.
I also saw a few more flowers for the first time this year with Ivy-leaved Speedwell and White Dead-nettle along the bridleway and Common Whitlow-grass on the pavement by the recycling area in the town centre. My OFFH (On foot from home) flora list is now standing at 41.
Didn't do too well in 2017 in keeping the blog up to date did I?, so must try harder.
