Mud In Your Eye - Spring 2025

I have to say that spring is my favourite time of year.
The sound of birdsong in the air once more, early spring flowers emerging and days getting longer.
It’s the ideal time to get out and about in the countryside and notice wildlife changing with the seasons. Species such as the pink-footed goose returning to the Arctic and soon swallows will arrive from Africa to feed on our abundance of insects. Barns Ness is a great spot to find some of the first spring arrivals.

I hope you enjoy this Spring edition of Mud In Your Eye with other news of what’s happening around the county.
