If Proof Were Needed!

I know there are different definitions of the start of Spring - astronomical and meteorological being two, but I think for me, it is the magical sight and sound of the Curlew arriving back on their Summer breeding grounds. Not my first this year, but the first seen close to our house and the first decent photo. Well, it is the Vernal Equinox. What a shame the clocks don't go forward till next week - I'm ready for the longer evenings.
