Lovely hour spent in the garden tonight, birdsong aplenty. This Blackbird was very busy getting worms and taking them to its nest. A lovely peaceful end to the day.

Terrible photo but if you zoom you can see the Lapwings in flight that have roosted on a well known diy store all winter, at the bottom of my street, its been wonderful watching and listening to them, numbers have decreased in last few days with the upturn in temperatures.
