Spring has sprung

What a glorious spring like day. During a walk at Margrove Ponds Nature Reserve at lunchtime I was serenaded by a chorus of frogs accompanied by Chiffchaffs singing away their instantly recognisable song. The swan was sat on its nest and the rest of the ducks engaged in courtship. I also heard my first Willow Warbler of year and saw Tortoiseshell and Peacock butterflies as well.
