March 21-25
Spring equinox - sparrows start to nest
First chiffchaff sings


Daylight equals darkness
Female tawny owl in good voice
The 'cat terrace*' open for spring
Dandelions fully open, daisies beginning to emerge
Apple blossom open, wild pear opening
Small tortoiseshell on the wing
Hairy bittercress in flower
First chiffchaff sings


* An upstairs window over a lean-to, allowing the cat to sun herself.
