This year, the spring equinox coincides with a super-moon, known as the ‘Worm moon’, after the Native American observation that the worms begin to appear at the start of spring as the ground begins to thaw. It’s almost as if the birds know that winter is over as they busy themselves catching worms and gathering twigs for their nests. Look out for it tonight!

Today is the first day of spring and also St David’s Day - always nostalgic for me, having been brought up in Wales. It’s also my brother, David’s birthday. He underwent major heart surgery in January which was a bit of a shock but he is now recovering well.
