Nestlings and flowers...

Amazing what a week does. Spring flowers are dotting Popehouse Moor now, with woodsorrel and carpets of primroses beneath the trees at the far end of the nature reserve and cuckoo flower on the grassland. And best of all, I've spotted a dunnock's nest with young in the garden. They've nested in the sedge again, and I missed the beautiful blue eggs this year, but I'm looking forward to watching these youngsters hope around the place. I just hope they make it - they're pretty low to the ground. I'll have to put Muttley on guard against neighbourhood cats!
