With a nod to Big Phil's plea for positivity, how about a thread on how great Spring is?
Absolute champion of the seasons for me. Just watching nature slowly come back to life each day is a treat.
Anyone got any exciting nature happening in their garden?
We've got the first batches of frog and toad spawn in the ponds, and an army of newts are mobilising. |  |

Not here it’s not! |  |

I'm jealous that you have spawn. I think I have a lone (not loan) frog in my pond, croaking lonesomely every night. I think he lives in the garden, but the trouble is the stupid neighbours insist on concrete gravel boards, and hermetically sealed gardens of monoculture lawn, yuck. If you are thinking of putting some fencing in, please don't use gravel boards, leave a gap underneath so that frogs, toads, newts, hedgehogs, taipans etc. can get around, or better still, grow a hedge. |  |

Glad someone picked up the reference. |
It was the reason I just opened the thread, but then saw I'd been beaten to it!!
(I hadn't seen it earlier, as I've actually been busy - which is nice). |  |

Have you been seeing to the drainage in the lower field? | |

Not yet sir, but if you'll excuse me, I'd better get on... | |

great to see bees back in the garden, frogspawn has appeared two weeks earlier than usual and my favourite spring flower, pulmonaria, is starting to bloom |
Is there sunshine on Leith today? |  |

We are expecting a selfie of you in front of your shed saying 'This week I have mostly been...' |  |

I've had that in mind quite a bit this last week as it happens. We've been having a new bathroom put in, and as it's the only one in the house, we've had to get the camping loo out in the shed, so when I've been emerging out of it, have felt rather Jesse-esque! | |

Every day is getting longer and brighter and (mostly) warmer. George Harrison wrote a really good song about it.
There's a bit of land at the back of work that is fenced off and kept wild, I put a bird box up there a week ago and already there's Blue Tits coming in and out of it. First saw them using on Saturday and it made my day. Thinking about getting a camera and filming it, especially when the chicks become fledglings. |  |

Without having to consult your doctor? Well done. | |

If you could run to a movement-triggered remote camera, you might be surprised at what turns up - my neighbours put one in another neighbour's bit of wild wood that has a stream running through it, & got footage of badgers! plus hedgehogs & a fox. |  |
