Spring is here - birds are nesting
The warmer weather has arrived and the shoots are appearing on the trees we planted in Winter 2012. All the silver birches and rowan have green leaves, and a few wild cherries on The Mound have survived the company of sheep.
We are hoping that a fence will soon enclose the area and keep it safe so that we can go ahead and plant a spiral maze on The Mound.
This morning I spotted a pair of goldfinches collecting wool which had caught on brambles to line their nest. I did not have my camera with me, so here is a photo of these colourful birds which feed on seeds such as thistle.
