For my 37 years on this planet i was told constantly as a child that spring does not happen until the daffs are in bloom ? So i make that another 2-3 weeks, and so will probably coincide with with the clocks going forward and BST.
You may wonder where this is going ?
Well, i recieved an email from the UK400 newsgroup stating spring migration had started ? What, during the 3rd week of Feb. What a load of shit. Just because a Swallow & Sand Martin were seen down south, and Ringed Plovers & Oystercatchers were moving inland, does that make it the start of the spring migration. A Swallow was seen in Cornwall during Jan, why did it not start then ?
Even with a few stray migrants spring still wont start before the daffs, but when it does then we can all get excited.
