Further indications that Spring has arrived. My daffodils, grape hyacinths and white periwinkles are in flower in every corner of the garden; they have gone from dormant to riotous in a couple of days. In my pond, frogs have suddenly appeared. Through my scope, I watched three pairs "conjoined", if I may put it delicately, and several unattached frogs, males I suppose, trying to mount whatever seems mountable. Finally - not that I am particularly happy about this harbinger of work to come - my neighbour opposite, Alan, gave his lawn the first cut of the year yesterday afternoon.You wanted to know about the moths, right? Right. About thirty of five species, all fairly uninteresting:- Common Quaker, Red Chestnut, Hebrew Character, Clouded Drab and one rather faded Dotted Border. At least their names are pretty. And now, if you will excuse me, I am going out into the Spring sunshine to cut up a military box...
