The owl in a beautiful pea-green tree

Another day of drying wind and sun.  The run down the valley is now a skim over the dried mud of the path.  The garlic and the bluebells are simultaneously and harmoniously carpeting their respective patches.

There seems to be just one Willow Warbler singing in the whole of our side which is a bit of a concern and Swallows are a bit thin on the ground too.  I hope they're just a bit late.
