There was a buzzard on the top of the tree when I turned up and later I briefly saw a couple of long-tailed tits. The robin was in and out while I made a start on the pruning. I did a little of the apple tree, but will need help with that. I’ve taken a little off my hawthorns and the pear tree and they’ll be finished tomorrow.

The snowdrops are almost up. I think one has been eaten, but I have a few getting ready to flower. One of the lungwort is close to flowering too.

I’ve taken the tiny holly seedlings from under the apple tree and potted them up. I’m hopeful they’ll take; it would be super fun if they’re male and female.
