Swallows and Brimstones!

There was a real taste of spring at the station this morning - a fly-over Swallow was nice to see in such an urban location. It was flying north, no doubt to its more rural nesting site! A male Blackcap was really showing well again and singing its heart out along with 2 Wrens. A Starling looked a bit lonely at the top of a tree and a Collared Dove regarded me with interest. On the disused platform across the track a Brimstone butterfly was basking - sadly the resulting photo was a bit naff due to its distance from me - that's my story anyway.
