No trap here last night, but a record 6 Red-legged Partridge this morning on the grass, they have now flown over into the rear garden, so hope the cowslips etc survive!

First crocus are appearing in our small meadow area.
First Cowslips appearing now, we originally put 10 plants into our back garden, they're steadily increasing by self-seeding.
Dog-violets have spread in our rear garden over the past few years since we stopped mowing the grass, just making annual cuts now.
More signs of spring from the garden. Crocus, Cowslip and Dog-violet on a gloomy day in Hunstanton.
