Yip got some of them round our way too - Dunblane/Stirling.

It's doomed to fail you know.

Been far too mild and wet this winter. The midges and wasps will be bloody murder in the summer, assuming they don't drown first.

Aye - got some here in the Borders too.

Good point about the midgies and wasps! A really cold snap in April will do the trick though.

They've been out in Stirling, in the Uni woods, for two weeks now.
And there's daffs coming through on the BofA backstreet trails.

Three years ago I spotted snowdrops on New Year's day!

Just waiting for the first Bluebell's.

Apologies if I'm missing the point here, but Snowdrops are generally winter-flowerers. They're supposed to be out in Jan/Feb.
It is a bit early for Daffodils though.

! A really cold snap in April will do the trick though.

Apparently it needs to be -10, and even then the rare at which they reproduce means that population recovers within a few days...
