I'm sure we ought to have a 'First signs of Spring' thread
It comes earlier each year
The Woodland Trust has an interesting project called 'Natures calendar' ...........

A good idea for a thread. A couple of us have made comments in other threads about flowers appearing and in my case Bluebell leaves shoving through.

Blue Tits and Great Tits have been investigating the nesting boxes. The Collared Doves have been a cootin' and this site won't allow me to say what the Woodpigeons have been doing .....

Just found a Peacock Butterfly in the shed. It was on the underside of a sheet of plywood. It was exercising its wings, so I put it back carefully.
I wonder how long it will be before it ventures out?

I noticed Dog Violets in flower today in my front lawn. Always a good sign.

I have noticed that the tips of my Bluebell leaves have started pushing through. Nothing like making an early start.
