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..
