Lightbulb Early Spring (or not)

I keep hearing in the newspapers that spring has started really early with reports talking about flowers, and wildlife coming really early all over the country. Where I live in staffordshire (which is around the middle of the country) our flowers and wildlife seems to be on track as normal as far as i can tell. Daffodills are only just about flowering (late march) and songbirds havn't been exesivly singing. I have only in the past week heared a woodpecker and definatly no migratory birds are around. We certainly have had plenty of rain and the temperature has definatly not gone anywhere greatly passed 10c

Is this the same all over the country and have other people noticed this? Or am I looking in the wrong places for signs of early spring?
