Vibrant spring

Maybe it was the harsh winter and the delayed spring, but it seems to me that the birds at least are making the most of the sudden warm spell. Had my first ever view of Great-Crested Grebes performing their mating ritual at Westhampnett Lake; reminded me of Torvill and Dean doing the Bolero. Also saw two Kestrels swooping low and gambolling in and around pine trees at Fontwell, oblivious to the people seated just below. Also saw first Orange Tip of the year. Saw female Linnet at Tangmere.

Spring arrives!

A lovely spring day in and around Horsham.
