Ticking off the early signs of spring

It's just past Easter and it's still not warm. In fact, we've had more snow in February-March than I can remember for 5 years.

But I'm still spotting some of the early signs of spring so clearly the birds and flowers and getting ready regardless. So far I've seen:

• Blackthorn bushes flowering
• Snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils everywhere
• Frogs in the garden pond
• New growth on the sedum plant
• Buzzards skydancing
• Bumblebees in the garden
• Blue tits preparing the nestbox
• Coots nest building on the river
• A slight tickle of hayfever
• My cat is staying outdoors for longer

What signs of spring have you spotted so far?
