Coldest April since '88 or something
Its a real mixed picture
Walked around Grizedale Forest today and how not-leafy the trees were had me shook for late April. Lot of dead dried leaves on the ground as well.
Tis an ill omen and no mistake about it.
Yeah spring seems very missed up right now. This time last year I was making daisy chains with my daughter in lockdown 1, haven’t seen any daisies yet this year.
I’ve not noticed this but I am in autumn right now here and native trees tend not to shed and the imported British trees are always a bit fucked up by the fact that winter is barely as cold as autumn.
Yup, I was saying this to my girlfriend on a walk just the other day. The low trees and bushes have leaves coming through, but the tall ones are still bare due to it being very cold overnight for the past month.
I was thinking this last week but then they started appearing and I thought… That’s a releaf.
Stickboy branches out into comedy!
I have noticed this
Maybe related, but I would normally expect to be seeing blue tit hatchlings in my bird box about now, but the parents seem to only just be starting to build nests.
