A male cardinal was singing loudly in the crepe myrtle near the garden shed this afternoon. 'Whuut, cheer, cheer, cheer...' he sang. Here's an excellent link from Bird Jam and Lang Elliot to listen to a cardinal's song.
'This is MY territory' he said, translated from cardinal language. It was the first cardinal song I'd heard this season. My gardening companion probably heard him this morning- he commented on how many birds were singing now.
We're in a time of winter turning into spring, with wildly variable weather, coming out of a very cold winter for our region. But definitely spring is in the air, with apologies to those of you that are still cold and icy.

Early Primroses.
The forecast storm has rampaged over Europe causing flooding and deaths but Britain only caught the edge of it last night. There are some flood warnings in the east of the country but nothing out of the ordinary here. In fact for most of the day it was sunny and warm. I put in a full day's work in the garden which was very satisfying. I started what I thought would be a quick task, clearing the long grass growing around the 4 azalea bushes on the grassy bank by the drive. Unfortunately on closer inspection the grassy bank turned out to be mainly weeds which I couldn't leave. By the time I had used my trusty screwdriver to remove the dandelions, buttercups and plantains, leaving the primroses and daisys, there were a lot of bare patches on the bank which will need reseeding. Before that I need to give the leylandii hedge on the top of the bank a trim so that I can clear up the trimmings before throwing down some grass seed. I found my very first primroses of the year growing in the shelter of the hedge. The previous 2 winters have been wet and warm and the spring flowers have appeared very early on but all the experts are saying that this winter's bad weather will delay the spring flowers by at least a month.
While up in the chickens' run I spotted a few visitors to my neighbour's lake. I couldn't see the second call duck, maybe it was successful in its attempts to get home to Ashelford Farm.

Sun And Weeding.
The woodpecker was back at the bird feeder this morning flashing his red rump as he swung around, I haven't seen him since last autumn but he was a regular visitor last year. Plenty of small garden birds have been feeding on the peanuts and fat balls that I put out for them all through the winter. The sun was out again, after a few heavy showers, making the day seem almost warm. I managed to weed both the flower beds near the house. it's not such a satisfying job because being herbaceous beds there was not a lot growing yet under the mess of dead foliage and they now look sad and muddy where I've removed a few weeds and some over exuberant scrambling geraniums. It's nearly all hardy geraniums in there and when the summer comes it's an extravagant mass of foliage and colour but this year I do need to have a little bit of a tidy up. At least that is one more job to tick off the list.
