Spring was definitely in the air at Etton Maxey this morning, skylarks singing, shelducks displaying and a couple of transient redshanks calling and feeding in the mud.
Even more evocatively, there were banks of coltsfoot across the reserve, one of the first flowers of spring and a huge gash of yellow across the sight lines!
And on the drive across to Uppingham this afternoon, five separate red kites over heard - is there any more glorious bird?
