Robin Redbreast at Iford Meadows Bournemouth. The tree just about to bud. Spring is here at last.

Spotted a lovely 7-spot ladybird out in the garden this morning

In the Dundee Howff graveyard today.

Watched as the bird graduall soared higher once it had found a thermal, this was quite low down.. Once it really soared, it met up with a second Buzzard and as I processed the images, I could see it looking around.

Whippoorwill's singing

Soft summer breeze

Makes me think of my baby

I left down in New Orleans

I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing

You're driving me mad

Got to get back to you, babe

You're the best I ever had

You're the best I ever had

You whisper "Good morning"

So gently in my ear

I'm coming home to you, babe

I'll soon be there

I'll soon be there
