Happy May Day to one and all. The first day of May and the first day of Summer is midway between the spring equinox in March and the summer solstice (Midsummer) in June. The weather is beginning to become a bit warmer. The ground is drying out eventually and a tractor can drive on a field for ploughing without sinking. It's a splendid day for gulls and rooks. They follow the plough and look for invertebrates. It is not good for skylarks - their nests will be disturbed. It was not a good day for this dead buzzard - killed by electricity, perhaps.
