I just couldn't help myself from singing that as I drove down to in mid-Wales yesterday (10 points for anyone who knew that the song was from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers!)聽

There's certainly no need to use an MP3 player when you've got the music of nature to listen to. It is after all, at long last spring.

All the creatures are twitterpating which should give us a mighty good Springwatch season (10 points to those of you who knew that twitterpating came from Bambi!)
