Beautiful Birds(1): Tree Creeper and Woodpecker



There were so many welcome signs of Spring this weekend after the long hard winter. The celandines were out in the banks, there were bumblebees on the crocuses, clumps of primrose in the hedge and green shoots that will eventually produce bluebells. It was lovely to watch the tree creeper going about its business at Aberglasney, home of John Dyer, 'Bard of the Fleece'. The Great Spotted Woodpecker was joining a band of chaffinches for a snack at Dryslwyn Castle.

It really was spring-like at last! We went up the Sugar Loaf near Abergavenny and it felt more like May than March at times and it was way less windy than I've ever known it!
