What a bird. The dunnocks are really putting on a display at the moment.

The buzzards feel like the true rulers of our small piece of Wales.

First chiffchaff has finally made it back to Stones Cottages. We like all our returning guests, but the ones with wings always get a special hooray.

The Imaginary Organic Speaker Company uses bitterns for bass, blackbirds for midrange and wrens for tweeters. The high end models also employ Goldcrests and choughs to increase the dynamic range.

The supernaturally loud wren. Not even science can explain how something so small can make so much noise without completely deflating.

Oooof, hello! Things are starting to hot up with the early pollinators. A yellow dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria) getting it's fix on a common dandelion.

First oil beetle of the year in the meadow. There is a lot of "oooo hello!" on my walks at the moment, catching up with old friends I guess. Also, a lot of walking around with eyes fixed on the ground. Have to remind myself to look up once in a while.

Blue sky and sunshine, more song than sightings walking around the flower meadows this morning.

For the past few years we have had a pair of starlings nest in the corner of the house. So nice to see them return. So beautiful and such a privilege to watch from the kitchen window.

So nice to hear buzzing in the meadows at Stones Cottages again. Amazing scent coming from the gorse flowers in the morning sunshine as well.

Adding my vinyl to discogs, shocked by the supposed value of some stuff (who's paying £200 for Bolt Thrower, as good as they are) This is worth nothing yet incredible.

A bluetit got trapped in the house. It had some thread wrapped around its leg which we carefully removed before letting it go.

Good apple harvest? Why not fill a giant Yorkshire pud with apple cobbler. Served with custard obviously. Provisionally titled "all the batter for it".

Decadent afternoon at the cinema and then coffee and very good cake at Trove, the new art cafe in Fishguard.

Lots going on in the meadows today. Beautiful sunshine, felt like spring, even a common darter flying about.

Quick walk around the flower meadows at Stones Cottages. A grey heron also flew over, and a nice flock of starlings about. Lots of robins and wrens, along with tits, goldfinch and jackdaws.

A pair of ravens barking loudly at Goodwick Parrog to a backing track of oyster catchers and black headed gulls. In my mind I was dancing wildly.
