I haven't seen any Robin's yet this year. When I do, I'll know spring is finally on its way!

We've got one overwintering every year. I don't know where he lives exactly, but I'm glad to have him. We keep him well fed.

I noticed several robins in the old plum tree yesterday, always a good sign  We've also been noticing the Canadian Honkers pairing up 
My grandma used to tell us that you knew spring was here when the pelicans came home. Haven't seen them yet

I nearly had a bat landing on me yesterday. That must be a good sign if they're out of hibernation.

We have a pair of jackdaws building a nest here in Scotland. Maybe they know that good weather is on its way at last.
