Moss Lane

I had a walk down Moss Lane this evening after work. The sun came out just as I got there making all the yellowhammer stand out like jewels against the newly ploughed fields. My first swallow of the year flew through and the corn bunting were singing away again.

Also after 4 years of living here, we've finally got birds nesting in the garden - a pair of bluetits have chosen to nest in the box with a camera in. There's no eggs yet but I'll try and work out a way of capturing some images and put them on here if they lay any.
