It has been soggy of late, and a few long walks have meant there hasn’t been much photography of late. There are signs of life, though, a few butterflies are turning up, and the birds are getting noisier in the garden. One bird is putting a bit too much effort, though: a Cetti’s Warbler, Europe’s loudest songbird, has set up near us, and has started yelling at all times of the night, 0210 is his earliest so far. It’s going to be a long spring!
Another sign of spring is the Slow Worms in the garden, and the Adders out in numbers on Cissbury Ring. We found 12 on Sunday, including a black one.
