The First of……2024

[Nicos]

A thread for you to post first sightings of the year. Anything gardening or nature related.
Do please add photos if you can.
I thought it might be good for future reference for you personally in years to come seeing as the the weather/ climate seems to be changing year on year….

A link to 2023 for comparison….

I put some mealworms next to them yesterday so the birds have got a top location to visit for food,the snowdrop café,there’s two pigeons,one female blackbird,starlings & a quick little brown bird I see fluttering about,maybe sparrow. I hope they enjoy the flowers
