I love how we can trace the progress of spring across parts of Europe

A BEE!!!
Lovely shots, Charly, the crocuses are so happy and you’ve caught the wagtails just right.
I got some nice garden shots and shoots today, too. No wagtails here yet, but I expect them soon. The magpies are nesting and stealing the dog’s food, and last weekend the sky was noisy with geese, cranes and ducks 24/7.
The wagtail was kind enough to pause for a pose a few times, eyeing me suspiciously as I was working near his nesting spot from last year. I would love them to nest in the prepared nesting box, but they probably will not do so and will go somewhere else this year, because I will dissasemble that wood pile.
I too love to observe the progress of spring acros the Europe. And I am rather envious of the slightly warmer climate south of here.

Yes, the bee! Beautiful.
Here, kids are taught:
“Kuu kiurusta kesään,
puoli kuuta peipposesta,
västäräkistä vähäsen,
pääskysestä ei päivääkään.”
In English:
“A skylark a month to summer,
half a month a finch,
wagtail a bit,
a swallow not a day to summer.”
