Spring birds and plants

We now have eight eggs in the garden nest box.

I saw my first local Swallow three days ago.

Walking along the old railway line today I saw Linnet, Yellowhammer and Goldfinch, heard a cuckoo in the distance and listened to several Willow Warblers and Chiffchaffs singing in the Gorse bushes although photographs were impossible as they never stay still for more than a couple of seconds. However I did get some video. You can't see the bird but you can hear it.
