* A single magpie, to avoid the bad luck of 'one for sorrow', must be saluted.** I thought maybe hen harrier because I know we have them round our way, but a look at some photos suggests buzzard was a possibility. I could tell the difference in the air - but this thing was sat on the hedge.

Hi Anne .. I just love the birdsong at the moment - so much of it from really early on before it's light - just gorgeous to see them flittering around .. and today it's warm ... Certainly you express Spring here - cheers Hilary
Very nice spring images...Well its springtime here too ~
Happy day ~
Oh I was so happy reading this until I got to the last line! :0
squashed young badger kinda caught me off guard...but that is all part of nature as well....
Sadly it tends to be the yearling badgers, who are moving on to make way for this year's cubs, who meet their end on the roads.
Lots of twittering going on all along the railway embankments while I was waiting for trains today. Lovely.
A lovely Brit Ode to Spring!
I feel all Vernal now..:-)
loved your 55 AJ
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Up until you squashed the badger, I was smiling & hearing all the birds in my own trees around these parts. Life cycles, I suppose
Masterfully composed 55, all light and airy as wings until......smash!
Lovely 55. Even the squashed badger is all part of Life's rich fabric.
Very familiar--and welcome!--signs. Cheers!
Very springy
