Annual Fix Time
Its that time of year when we just have to have a fix of Gods own country - the Yorkshire Dales, still one of the best places on earth to me. We had a quick two day stint covering Bolton Abbey and Malham and was immediately aware that the flowers were way behind on last year due to the very cold winter the UK has just had - there was even snow still lying on the very tops, something I have never seen at this time of year so hardly any flower shots. I'm pleased to report though that there are plenty of Pied Flycatchers and Redstarts in but sadly not a single Wood Warbler. To see what the flowers should look like look at last years post of the same date!

I can see from the landscape that spring is a little late this year. Love the Pied flycatchers, sadly in Kent we are probably hundreds of miles from breeding birds such as these - in fact the nearest birds (if you have a boat) or in France!
