Five Faves II

A little late but here are my five faves for this week.
Encounters with wild life, of any kind.

The Forth has been wild tonight, the promenade closed, I love to see these huge waves crashing in, amazing.

Daffodils . . . Spring Spring Spring.

The evening song of blackbirds, when they perch on the highest tower, chimney pot or tree.

I recorded this on the way home tonight, this hedge is alive with sparrows, bliss.

Rookery

Traveling down and up Britain this week we have witnesses trees burgeoning with nests, flurrying chicks and attentive parents in Rookeries, precariously fruiting in the tips of trees still naked from winter. They are a great and fleeting spectacle of spring wonderful to witness.

The first day of Spring

My new favourite thing is climbing on board those huge flower lorries from Holland, breathing deep and letting the flowers tickle my eyes with colour.

However today I didn't take my chances I asked my local florist Canterbury Bells, Kirkcaldy, when the delivery was arriving and just caught it, have some flowers, today it is SPRING.
