Just had a look Jenny, and there's nothing wrong with your bluebells! The one with the blob of ice on the stem is particularlt good. Plus, you got birds and muntjac deer! One lonely crow was all that showed itself round here today.

Blimy last night i filled my bird feeder this everning it was empty!!! 
Spring must be coming. When do sparrows start rearing young? That might explain the sudden onslaught of hungry sparrows! If not anyone have any ideas?

well first day i've been able to go for a walk in just a strapy top!! Very warm on the country lanes this afternoon. Lots of bluebells, wood anenomes, celedine, primroses and cuckoo's smock - the first two looked lovely on mass together in a little coppiced woodland. |
