At 6:15 am on the 15th of this month when I was enjoying a slice of toast - a movement outside my front window and guess what - a male Roe deer strolling past.
It was a moment that makes you look back to the night before to be sure you didn't take anything mind altering. But no, it was for real. Now I know I live by the Lickey Hills and, yes, there are deer but I never imagined they would regard a residential street as just another thoroughfare
Add that to the mass of dandelions, local buzzard being mobbed by crows, every day, surge in rabbit numbers, masses of frog and toad spwn (now taddies) and some signs of insect life about (though still not enough) and it seems like a wonderful spring is in the offing.
