Over the last two weeks, a dunnock has been repeatedly attacking his reflection in a small window pane of our summer house in the garden at Copdock. The pane reflects bushes and I suppose it appears to be a continuation of the vegetation where he is perching. His persistence is amazing. His partner appears to continue to look for food oblivious to his display.

On Monday 12th March, we had our first sighting of a Brimstone butterfly in the garden accompanied by our first calls of a chiff chaff this year. This was in the mid afternoon, the sun was shining and there was little wind.

Spring must be on the way.
