    Seen these today 🙁 Not flowering….but it’s January FFS.

    Hope they don’t burn out and we get a poor crop in MArch/April.

    I never sure why people are shocked, it isn’t that unusual to see them early. There’s less and less native varieties so that’s maybe why they appear earlier too.

    Come to think of it the reason your seeing them is they shoot from January.

    In my local park all the daffodils are already out in bloom. Don’t think I have ever seen them blloming this early.

    Was amazed to see a bumblebee earlier today and a ladybird at the weekend. Hopefully will be allowed back into my local woods (Cranham) in time to see the bluebells by bike.

    Not wild flowers, but the roses in our garden have been flowering all winter.

    Not in any way a gardener so no idea if it’s unusual or not?

    However, snow drops are out now here.

    plenty of snowdrops down here, primrose a few daffs and even cherry tree blossom.
    Rooms making nests too.

    Also back in the mid of December, I saw wild strawberries in rural lanes, some in flower.

    Saw a ton of Daffodils round the Quantocks at the weekend.

    That’s not right is it?

    There are a few species of winter flowering daffs, so sometimes they are seen around now.

    It will be interesting to see how nature reacts to the now freezing conditions, even though it’s only just turned below.

    Will the nesting Rooks down tools and hold off the idea of humping?
    Will the shooting late spring flowers freeze and die, or will they just freeze, then re-commence growth come spring proper?

    The emergence of other spring time critters have also been recorded, quite a few sightings of Red Admirals, a few Peacock Butterflies and a couple Vanessa Cardui’s 😉 And one the 7th of Jan a male Brimstone was spotted making it the earliest Sighting on Record.

    I’m sure however, they are all tucking themselves back under their duvets again and shutting down the systems for a couple more months.

    As you were Britain, season restored! Well almost..
