This is a fascinating story. Marsham and 6 generations of his family kept a detailed log of specific signs of the onset of spring...for 222 years! Starting in pre-industrial Britain is it the longest science experiment of its kind ever undertaken. Really worth a read ⤵️

Robert Marsham’s “Indications of Spring” is an incredible 222-year record of flora and fauna events that still informs climate studies today
