Big Garden Birdwatch

At last, it is a nice dry day, though the ground is still quite hard from the frost at least I got out there today and had a chance to tidy up and cut back a few plants.

I feel spring is just around the corner and can't wait to decide which seeds to sow and pop in the greenhouse so by summer the garden will be full of colour and beautiful flowers.

The free seeds are being given away again with Amateur Gardening magazine after their winter hiatus so I have a nice collection now to choose from.

I also sat for an hour earlier to see how many birds I could spot for the RSPB's Big Garden Birdwatch. It was very quiet in my garden but I did spot a few wood pigeons, a couple of blackbirds, a song thrush and believe it or not a heron! Hoping there is a space on their website for 'other' so I can log that.
