A wonderful post Gem, and such beautiful photos ❤️ I particularly love the little Blue Tit 😍
We've been noticing such a change in the bird song here too, with Great Tits incredibly vocal, which has brought such joy to our days. A Blackbird's started singing its beautiful melody over the past two afternoons too, joined by a Song Thrush somewhere nearby. It really does feel like life is stirring, and everything's beginning to wake from its winter slumber 🌱
Seen a few Blackbirds tootling about, some finches feeding of my neighbours table. Time for a stroll down to my local wetland, most years it boasts a small herronry! Not bad for a small urban wetland!
I read with interest and had a little chuckle when I read your bit about Song Thrush mimicry.
Watched some fabulous snow buntings on the Norfolk coast

I love the word ‘heronry’ - apparently the largest one in the UK is near me so I’ll have to check it out! I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
