16th March, evening walk

An evening walk through the next housing estate and towards the river and fields produced an array of Daffodils everywhere still, several clumps of Primrose, catkins on Hazel and Alder trees, fresh, bright green, new foliage of Hawthorn and the amazing Dipper on the shingle in the river, who most probably has a nest of young now as they are early breeders. There are a few pairs on the river that goes through our town and are often heard alarm calling 'zit-zit-zit' and singing on occasions.
