The last couple of days of January saw some sunny days with the temperatures getting into the high teens. The dormancy of early spring appeared with Hoopoes calling, Collared Doves cavorting, and flowering plants. The areas of untended ground that had been green now contained bright flowers. I noticed Groundsel had already flowered and was about to cast it seeds to the wind.
Then the local employees of the Town Hall came around and removed bushes and smaller shrub like growth paying no regard to the insects, bees and spiders that need shelter and somewhere to feed. They will spray next and a food source will be destroyed.
The early hint of spring is now delayed and overcast with cloud and a chance of some rain.
Crónicas Naturales say that Harbour Porpoises have been seen. I am looking forward to some clear sunny days, but that will only be next week now.
