Nature with a capital N

This time last year, I was sitting in Sarah's backyard in San Diego enjoying the arrival of the summer warblers- Townsend's, Yellow, Wilson's, Orange-crowned and Hermit.
This year, I am sitting in my own back garden in Cambridgeshire enjoying the arrival of our summer warblers - Blackcap, Common Whitethroat, Lesser Whitethroat, Willow Warbler and Chiffchaff.

But wherever you are, the miracle is the same.
I am stunned and I am delighted and I am humbled by Nature. If ever a word deserved an initial capital, it is that one.
