Bitterly Cold

Bitterly cold, only 4°C so I'm not sure what the first young lapwing I've seen hatched this morning are going to eat. It was so cold I didn't stay in one place very long as I didn't want to keep adults from brooding either eggs or chicks.

 

Not too cold for our first cuckoo though, calling for some time in the ghyll, so maybe summer is coming. Plenty of little easter bunnies on the go. The only splash of colour is the gorse, everything else is browned by the east wind.
