Bobbing on the Flood

Great Crested Grebe
 
Water levels are still very high. Good numbers of Pochard and Tufted Duck still in the deeper and larger expanse of water- also two Great Crested Grebes have been attracted- not particularly common at the farmlands.
Spring is unfolding slowly- crocus and snow drops have been out for two to three weeks locally, the first daffodils are flowering around the obs, the first Cherry Plum flowers were out today and a few bumblebees were out at the weekend (presumably Early Bumblebees). I tried the moth trap last night but nothing.
