Slow but sure

The rainy temperate weather is making a rich green cover

Meadow Clary is out

The Yellow Rattle seeds I collected from a nearby field last summer, and planted in Autumn, are a real success - about 10 clumps over the meadow

The wall lizards are sunbathing and searching for insect food

And under the village footbridge the Red Kites are nesting - and the mother tends two young chicks
