Signs of springtime

[PeteXXX]

There was a herd of starlings mugging my bird feeder this morning!
Never seen them this early in the year before..

Just had a walk around to the shop to stock up on Maltesers, it is very mild out and there is a Blackbird singing away, at 8pm. No idea why he's so full of beans.

Maybe he wanted a malteser.

They seem to like damp, mild weather. I reckon they're singing about easy worm pickings in the morning.

They should be asleep if they are getting up early in the morning.

There's been a rumour around that a couple of dozen or so could end up in a pie.

Well yes, but it's a damn long time until April and we are trying to cheer ourselves up.

I suppose it's a state of mind, but when I worked outside all year, my winter didn't start until the Christmas holidays which effectively meant tomorrow for construction trades. It finished about 6 weeks later mid February when the frosty mornings came back around. Worked for me for years.
