So we have no frog spawn yet and we wonder if the heron has eaten them all. It is eating something in the top video but a bit small for a frog - perhaps a newt or water beetle larva.
Having said all that I do not know if it is a female or male bird, anyway I have decided to call it Keepya.
The small and wild daffs are doing ok, especially the wild ones under the white birches.
We now have a few more logs in the woodshed and I have tried to light the bonfire again - failed. The snowdrops are over so dividing time is here, a job R keeps for herself - and does very well. 
The flowering currant is coming on and the cassias have self seeded into the nearby path. In the back bed there is a big clump of green and I am not sure what it is. Perhaps it is a small allium? In the veg beds the rhubarb is good and we have early purple broccoli, not big enough yet for harvesting.
So back to Keepya flying off as I approach the pond but not as twitchy as it has been. I got within ten feet before it lifted away.

So many twigs on the ground, R says leave them but . . .
At least we have finally had some sunshine, a cold breeze but no rain.
