Thanks everyone, we had a lovely walk along the river and all through the Bluebell woods to the pub, then more Bluebells back to home :) a great way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Nice video! There were lots of bluebells still along the canal yesterday too. Then this morning marked the first day of the return of the swifts; they were noisily chirping away as they swooped overhead first thing, we're going out to look for them this evening too.

Mark, you should put up Swift boxes under your eaves, if you got some I would be envious. We have none here anymore since the church blocked up the roof :(

Hi Alexandra....

Lovely set of solar images, and the video shot along the path is equally nice. More gray skies and no flowers yet.

They live in some of the derelict factories round here by the canal. I'd need to get me a big ladder to put some boxes up under our eaves.
