A collection of photos taken in the past few days.
Everything is crazy with spring.
This Eurasian Blue Tit is loudly staking out his territory.
The wolf spiders squabble over sunny spots, all of them female and gravid; they mated before winter and then hibernated, and now they'll lay their eggs soon, and carry them with them in silken pouches tied to their bodies, and then, when they hatch, carry the babies themselves until they're old enough to hunt.
A tiny female sun spider busily investigates her new territory - a plastic owl with here and there a cavernous, to her, hole into a gigantic protected interior. Now and then she spots a male, and waves at him. He waves back. So far, they have not tried to meet while I've been watching.
Crab spiders parachute in from wherever they found themselves, and above, the two crows (One-One and Gwendolyn) who live in the tree over on the square are kept busy by the appearance of a young buzzard. Ladybugs are appearing in larger numbers now.
The magpies are zipping all over and making a show of things while blackbirds forage in the thorn bush, and the crocuses are meeting the beginning of the end of the brief flashier part of the above-ground phase of their lives.
It is the beginning of the Time of Biomass and I must arm myself against the wisteria and the hops, the honeysuckle and the ivy, keeping them tame through this burgeoning season.
