A simple sign of spring.

bodger · A simple sign of spring.

I was held up this morning at temporary traffic lights outside Glynllfon College. To those who don't know the area, its a straight stretch bounded by the high college stone walls and tall trees. As I sat there waiting for the lights to change, a heron laboured towards me, straight up the road at about thirty of forty feet. The bird was carrying a large twig in its beak. Happy nesting.

Spring is almost here.

I always think spring starts around Valentines day as the sun gets higher in the sky and feels stronger.
In a conservatory it is around then that a bit of sun really pushes the temperature up.
It gives a great lift to the spirits after the dark days of winter

Yesterday it felt like spring was on it's way, sunny but chilly and a good day to be working outside.

Today....yuck, no way, windy and rainy and generally grey.

But your mention Bodger of the heron reminded me of the one and only time I have seen a Heron in the wild. Last october we had a trip on the Teifi Railway and there it was. In fact it was still there on the return journey down the line. A lovely day out.
