BR, that's a beautiful photograph 
Spring like here today too
Lots of little birds doing their courtship 'chase me, feed me' type displays too. Reed buntings noisily cheeping away

That is a stunning shot !!!
On the spring front, we've had robins courting here for 3 weeks; the tits are doing their mating call; we had the sparrowhawk hunting our bottom hedge this afternoon and she made a kill; we saw the first abay rabbit of the year this morning; a heron flew over this afternoon; the bulbs are all coming up; the lungwort has been flowering since December. And this afternoon it even smelled of spring

Glad you liked it Two of our hives are doing very well indeed. I fear the third may not survive the Winter - but we knew it was a weak colony. We may combine it anyway if it makes it through.

Saw a skylark displaying today, lots of spring flowers around, celandines, dandelion, primroses and there's definitely leaves showing on some trees already. I even saw my first bumblebee out and about.
Lots of daffodils on my walk today. it really feels like spring is here now.
One thing though, unless we get some frost in the next few weeks it will be a whole winter without any, in the south east at least, which I can't remember ever happening before. It will be biting beastie central come summer

It was -25C here this morning, and there is yet well over a meter of snow on the ground; far more in the drifted places. The frost, so they are telling us, has reached more than 2 meters in depth this year. Spring is very many weeks away,,,
Daffodils, crocuses and honeysuckle on the go, but the real sign of spring in our household is checking the travelling kit over and booking the ferry: all done!
I think we have proof that Spring is here

i was also in the woods on sunday and out of curiosity checked to see if the sap had risen on a plantation of silver birch to my disbelief it had and will be going back this weekend to get some more

I had a pair of Goldcrests flitting about in the garden over the weekend, looking at a nice mossy fork in a tree. I'm hoping they nest.
