Spring time

This is my favourite time of year - warm sunny weather and everything in the garden is growing (although we could do with a bit more rain as there's been hardly any for months).

The nest box in our garden is home to a family of blue tits.  The parents are working hard, in and out of the box every few seconds feeding the babies - no wonder they look a bit scruffy!

And the babies are getting bigger (and bolder) - if you look carefully you can just see one baby peeping out of the hole in the box... I hope that I'm around to see when they finally fly the nest :)

A couple more photos from my garden of the growing fruit... pears and strawberries...
