Swift half news - 16th April 2010

• What a wonderful two weeks of weather we've had for all the kids (and teachers) on holiday- 'though I hear it's due to get a lot colder next week
• Early grey moth on kitchen window at dawn this morning (likes honeysuckle allegedly).
• Unidentified blue butterfly (common blue I assume) in garden this afternoon.
• Jays attacking blackbird's nest in rear ivy yesterday.
• UK spends second day as a "no-fly zone" due to a volcano erupting in Iceland and putting up a vast plume of pumice at 18,ooo feet. We are due spectacular sunrises/sunsets I hear - though I've not seen owt yet...
