The birds definitely think it’s Spring – the robins, particularly, are in full voice. The song thrush overwhelmed by dark branches looming over it is completely misleading – the photo is taken up through the branches to the thrush which is far above them – but I liked the effect. I wandered through the stumps of trees which were felled years ago. We used to take the children on midnight hikes through these trees when they were little (having doctored the clocks first – it was probably about 7pm). A bit sad that the trees have gone, but the lichens are pretty special.
