More firsts

Thursday was yet again another sunny dry day. It was fairly cold over night so Thursday morning started cool as the temperature had dropped to 1.7°C in the early hours - a reminder that it's only April.

When we visited Walton Nature Reserve last week we heard our first cuckoo of the year. In fact it seems it's been a few years since I last heard a cuckoo. The video below is included for its soundtrack rather than the content of the video. A cuckoo can be heard calling.


I was having a coffee break outside and watching the fish in the pond when I spotted some fry from last year. I'm surprised these little fish have survived our harsh winter. I'm sure they will be rudd which usually produce a few offspring each year. The challenge now is to get some pictures.
