9th April- The first Swallow

Hello and welcome to Baconsthorpe nature diaries.  The aim of this blog is to inform and hopefully inspire you to observe and listen to the nature living on your doorstep.
     I aim to update the blog every few days, giving you an idea as to what flora and fauna can be seen based on our daily rambles.
     All photos are taken using the camera on my phone, so my subjects will be mainly close targets and landscapes.
