It was a sunny morning as Heather and I set off on our walk around Cadeby in the Lincolnshire Wolds. It is only a short walk and one that we have done before but it was on the way to the feeding station wood so was convenient on two fronts. Although sunny, it was still only 9C and the brisk south-easterly wind made it feel chilly. It was feeling more spring-like, however, and we found our first celendines and violets in flower and hawthorn was beginning to come into leaf. As we approached our starting point we first heard and then saw a good sized flock of fieldfares; my first this year. These large, colourful winter thrushes will be leaving us soon to head to their breeding territories further north.
In the feeding station wood dog's mercury was in flower and the wild garlic or ramsons was coming into leaf. After topping up the feeding station we collected a bag of wild garlic to be made into wild garlic soup and pesto.
