Thursday 5th 38F/3C [8.40] Another overnight frost. Already sunny. Expected to remain so. Reaching 10C/50F after lunch. 61F/16C in the room. 45F/7C in the greenhouse.
Up at 7.50 after waking repeatedly during the night and morning.
10.10 Back from my walk in bright sunshine. I was suddenly made aware of the arrival of spring. By the birds singing and calling in the hedgerows. A male Kestrel was perched in a tree on my right. It dived down to the field and then back up to a tree on the left side of the road. We stared at each other for about five minutes. Myself through my binoculars. It, with its remarkable vision. It must have been hungry. So I left it to its own devices. I became aware of skylarks only a couple of days ago. They usually pop up singly but now they are everywhere.
