We've passed the vernal equinox so spring is officially here but there's no sign of any grass growth. There are some signs that spring is on its way, with birds that winter in warmer climes starting to arrive. Our first Chiffchaffs of the season started singing this week and a common lizard was seen on the course. Blackcaps will turn up soon but we'll probably have to wait until mid April for the Nightingales to start singing. Nightingales have been amazingly consistent in their arrival date on the course, with very few exceptions we've first heard them singing on the 14th of April.
