February on the Farm

mudchute-3feb17-9398

The days are getting longer and Spring is just around the corner. As we get ready for a busy Spring on the farm there are lots of subtle signs that Winter is losing its hold. We've spotted the first snowdrops in our coppice and bulbs are starting to peek out across the farm. Even the first cherry buds are appearing. It won't be long until the trees fill with blossoms and new leaves. But for now, the trees are largely bare and it makes for some fantastic opportunities to spot wild birds. At the moment there are large flocks of Redwing and Starlings across the farm. What are your favourite signs of Spring?
