Violets/Greenfinches

This is the time of year I love the best. There are violets everywhere  and it is astonishing to see the range of varieties that grow in this area. At one spot, there is a beautiful combination of white and blue violets. Most spring flowers tend to be yellow so to have such dark beauties to admire adds a different dimension to a walk in the countryside.
I am pleased to see a pronounced increase in the number of greenfinches around. Having been recently decimated by disease, it is clear to see that they are quite resilient and quick to recolonise deserted areas.
