Wandering round the commons yesterday it was obvious that spring has really started. Birds were quite clearly pairing up, and the level of bird song increases each day. I was constantly accompanied by songs or calls from robins, great tits chaffinches and the inevitable collared doves (which don't seem to recognise the seasons anyway). The black headed gulls are beginning to develop their dark hoods, and the male blackbirds are starting to get that glossy sheen and bright yellow bills that indicate they are in breeding condition.
I was pleased to see that the offensive graffiti I had noticed on a tree next to the "forest schools" area on School Common has gone. Perhaps it washed off - it was written with ash - or perhaps someone wiped it off. If it was the latter - many thanks indeed.
