Sunday, April 4
The last two days have been very cold, I thought that these temperatures were due to continue for several more. To-day is sunny and warm, north-westerlies and snow are due to return to-morrow. The snow is definite in the north, a possibility everywhere. Those poor early Swallows will starve.
Some of my alpine tulips are in bloom.
Just look at the real height difference. I must look more carefully at the descriptions. I have never been very successful at translating centimetres into actuality. I'm good with kilos, grams, litres and metres
We've managed to catch up with Casper, the Glaven Valley white Barn Owl at last. It was accompanied in flight by three other Barn Owls, of the usual colouration. Casper landed on a convenient post, which helped in the rain and dusk.

We have continued to trap moths with varying results. Mostly low numbers, the largest catch approaching a hundred.

The garden Siskin count is now up to a dozen at once, and five Brambling to-day.
