Swift Half update - 23rd March 2011

• Another belter of a day today - temperatures must have reached 17 or 18c. I hear its back down to single figures and overcast for the weekend though - aw well.
• The newts certainly loved the warm pond - I just looked for them in the dark and found loads in a writhing mass - around a large female. Easy now .... one at a time!
• The heron seems to be doing recce flights over the garden as well. Those newts had better be careful!
