and all of a sudden our country lanes are full of colour again!

Even though it was a grey dull day, my spirits couldn't fail to be lifted walking along our lane today, with the sound of distant curlew warbling and a wren singing for all it's might on the top of the hawthorn hedge, such a big song for such a tiny bird!
Take a closer look at the hedge and the verge and glimpses of colour catch your eye. whites and yellows and a very well hidden patch of blue.

  1. You're right - there is so much colour around, you just have to look for it. Birdsong is everywhere if you listen hard, I love the wren's song too. Totally out of keeping with the tiny throat it comes from!!
