We have had some lovely spring weather this week but and it has been dry for some time so today we had rain for a change. It was very wet this morning when I went out to do some shopping but luckily it hasn't been too cold. This afternoon everything has dried up and we've had some sunshine but we are supposed to get a frost tonight.
It's strange the way the weather affects the behaviour of our wildlife at this time of year too. The birds were singing their hearts out this morning, probably because the worms are coming closer to the surface because I saw Mrs Blackbird tossing the woodchip around in the garden and I think she may even be nesting in a small eunoymous bush by the side of the patio. It's a very dense bush up against the wall but it's only about four feet high. The wood pigeons and seagulls were busy on Castle Green where they have given the grass it's first cut and they were busily turning the cuttings over.
The squirrel came over this afternoon, had some peanuts and then stretched out upside down on the house wall at the end of the garden. He was getting some sunbathing in now that there's some warmth in the sun.
