Think of the tits..

First day of spring is 21st. March. Tits'll have to wait!

Although Met Office treat 1st March as the start of Spring - which is good enough for me, as I hate winter (apart from the footie, of course)!

Around here it is all flying rats ie pigeons.

Sorry, the met office can call it what it likes, but the seasons are defined by astronomical forces, not some civil servants jolly good idea.
The start of spring and autumn are fixed by the day of the equinoxes - the equinoxes being the two days of the year when the hours od daylight and darkness are equal - this year that is March 20th. and September 22nd. The solstices are on the 21st. of June and December respectively.

The birds don't know that and are looking for nesting sites already.

What do they know? They don't even know what day of the week it is, or that we're into March!

Anyway, they're just randy little buggers - one whiff of warm sunshine and that's it, they're out looking for a quick (and in the case of birds it's very quick!) shag.........

Only three? I usually get slightly bigger gangs of Long Tail Tits in my garden after my fat balls... until the Blue Tits see them off.

It always disappoints me how posters on NSC attempt to corrupt posts. Here's a chap with the best of intentions posting about tits and folk have to bring up some nonsense about birds ...ffs!

Now that is a VERY nice shag!

Everybody loves a nice shag.

It's the dirty northern Bustards I object to.
