As I was walking back from the yurt, on one of the many trips we make to and fro, I spotted a pied flycatcher flitting around the hedgerow. I followed him all the way back over to the barn, where he promptly popped into one of the nesting boxes we have put up, then I spotted the female. Such a sweet little bird and it is eagerly scoffing all of the insect life it can. The hedgerows are buzzing with life. Goldfinches are singing lustily, bees are drinking up all the nectar that they can get, swallows are diving around the place  and it is most assuredly spring!
