That spring feeling  
Took off two of the bird feeders today. The one on my window sill was mostly used by pigeons and they were getting raucous lately. It was different in the winter, back then it was frequented by sparrows and both blue and great tits, some starlings and later maybe up to four pigeons. Now there is a whole flock of pigeons. I like them, but it just seemed to get out of hand.
I also took down the bigger feeder from the lilac bush. They still have a regular, smaller size bird house/feeder for seeds and such and two feeders for fat balls. I have no idea what is up this spring, but they eat like they are preparing for the apocalypse. Maybe it's just the nesting season and I have not payed enough attention other years.
For the very first time this year I went out without a jacket and wearing sandals instead of sneakers. It was just to pick up my parcels, maybe a 10 min walk, but it felt great. The wind is crisp but not cold and the weather is just warm enough. As I don't handle hot weather very well, this is the perfect time for me.
