After a bit of a break with updating the blog I felt inspired today with the lovely sunshine

Spring has arrived

Ladybird and Winter flowering Daphne

Robin, hungry as ever especially when there are fresh worms on the menu.

Male Blackbird happy to find some rotting cooking apples out for him.

Buzzard

I spotted three of these birds of prey soaring above the house
Naturally I wasn't going to catch all three in one shot but I am quite pleased with this one.

This variegated rhododendron was a birthday present from our son and his wife.
It has loads of buds, so I was keen to get it potted up.
This spot gets quite a lot of sun which should help the leaves to stay variegated.
