The early primroses are out in their usual spot a couple of miles from
here. I don't know when they emerged this year, as I haven't been that
way for a few weeks but last year they were out on 5th January. And I
noticed magpies are definitely pairing up, unless of course, they're
like that all the time in or out of the breeding season! Even the
rooks seemed to be doing their jostling for space and cawing loudly
stuff two days ago and the tawny owl was making a real racket last
night.
