Birdsong and vitamin D

There can be few better tonics after a dull day cooped up inside than to get out into the garden and enjoy the sights of spring. Even half an hour of bright colours, birdsong, a light breeze and a sprinkling of vitamin D can do wonders for the soul. The early flowers are in display, the cherry blossom is gorgeous in the early evening sunshine and the birds at the feeders – albeit just a few Blue Tits today – are a joy to watch as they busy themselves during the final part of their own hectic day.
