The temperature in Lancing was a little cooler than yesterday as it hoverered around 9C today, feeling cool in a light northerly breeze.
House Sparrows are showing signs of nest making, some have been tentatively tugging pieces of Pampas grass from the fluffy tassels and seeing if the mood feels right.
During an afternoon walk we had a further sighting of a Redwing foraging on the grass under ornamental trees in Lancing Manor Park.
Trees are not yet breaking into leaf but buds are swelling to a point that is close to splitting the winter seal. As usual making the exception, Elder has a head start with bright young foliage unfolding confidently assuring us that spring is coming.
Large tongue-shaped blotched leaves of Cuckoo pint, Arum maculatum has already broken through the brown leaf litter all around the woodland floor.
Brambles are springing into activity with growth of new buds emerging from the axils of last years leaaves
