Signs of spring, yellow flowers: daffodils
More yellow flowers of spring, still not quite open. These daffodils were in Coppice Wood, near to yesterday’s primroses.
Bluetit with ragged feathers

Signs of spring, yellow flowers: gorse
Winter seems to be hanging on for so long this year. Despite the dreary weather, there are signs spring is on the way. Yellow flowers are starting to appear, here some gorse opening.
