Birds and Bees

Days in the high 60s and sunny. Birds building nests in trees once again green. Bees, mysteriously disappearing around the world, in abundance and fond of paying building dwellers a surprise visit through an open window. The ice cream truck ringing its bell and playing its song down our street. Spring in Cambridge is lovely.

The Return of the Pheasant

He's back! Actually, he's been showing up every day to eat the seeds that fall out of the bird feeders in the trees. He announces his arrival with a "korr kok." Click here to listen: http://www.garden-birds.co.uk/birds/pheasant.htm#Voice.
