One of the best times of year on Blacka is the time before Spring** when daylight hours increase leading to a surge in twitterings and sundry activities among the bird population. Sunlight is a spur to the activity and it affects wildlife as it does humans.
Yesterday, under cloud, the hinds seemed stuck in a desultory mood.
Today, in sunlight, they looked happier with more of a 'spring' in the step.
** When is spring?
'Astronomical spring' this year starts on March 20th.
'Meteorological spring ' starts on March 1st
