Day 154 - What I've seen so far in Super Spring

Hi all today's Day 154 and, according to the calendar it's been precisely 17 days since the first Day of Spring. It doesn't seem very long but you can see a whole lot in just 2 and a half weeks. I have been all over the place and seen quite a lot of things (birds and others) that I just loved to watch. I noticed on Twitter that BBC Wildlife (@wildlifemag) were asking what we had seen this Spring and that gave me the idea to think back and consider all the things I have seen. It's quite a lot so I've just recorded some highlights in sections below to hopefully make it easier to read. I think I will do another one of these about halfway through Spring as well so I can see how much I have seen in that short small space of time.

So, without further ado, let's get on with the edited highlights:
