The first butterfly

Spring is definitely stirring in the country helped along with the welcome return of warm sunshine. The first butterfly of the year, a red admiral appeared along with a couple of bumblebees and the snowdrops were popping open everywhere.

The Fantastic Mr Fox turned up and despite his lack of teeth he managed to eat a lot of bread and cheese rind I'd put out for the birds. Before Christmas he's obviously had a nasty near miss with a car. He had a huge injury on his back and a terrible limp. Somehow he made it through the winter and he can just about run again now. I don't begrudge him the cheese rind at all. But the pheasant wasn't so pleased.
