My nature detective friends are really great! I love our spotting competitions, and lots of you are really getting into the wild spirit by building animal homes and garden cafes, and asking lots of interesting questions. Good work!
I think I might have an even better 'spring spot' for you now though...
I was taking a wander along my local river that goes through a big town nearby. I don't often go very close (there is lots of scary traffic there) but sometimes I like to take a look at what all the people are up to.
There were lots of human youngsters - Cubs? Human-lings? - feeding the ducks. I heard some cheeping coming from the riverbank.
'Badger,' I thought to myself, 'there is absolutely no way that cheeping noise is what you think it is. It's too early and too cold. You must be hearing things.' But I wasn't hearig things. Can you guess what I saw?
That's right - ducklings!!!

Wow - ladybirds already, eh? Good spot, Boaryex! There's a joke in there somewhere, I'm sure. Ladybirds, spots...?
I asked Beebee about them. She's a bit of a minibeast expert. She told me about how to tell the difference between the British ladybirds and the alien invaders called harlequins.
Apparently, you have to look at the head and the legs. Harlequin ladybirds have brown legs instead of black. They also have an 'M' shaped marking on their heads. Have a look at the one in this picture.
How's that for nature detecting!

Yay! Look at the lovely fresh and green website! If only it would start to look more like that in the real world. Still, it won't be long now and all the snow and snowdrops will be replaced with daffodils and tulips.
Swiftafa has seen a bee already, and some frogs. I've been looking at all the hazel trees near my sett with their cool dangly catkins. I like poking them and watching the little puffs of yellow pollen that come out.
You can go to the downloads page (www.wildlifewatch.org.uk/Games-Downloads) and get a spring things wallchart to help you count down all the new things you see. I'm going to put one on the wall in my room.
And well done Robinova - you obviously know your woodpeckers!

The most beautiful pheasant has been visiting my garden just lately. He's very tame and comes right up to the edge of my sett.
I've been getting a really good view of his multi-coloured feathers. They shimmer in the sunlight sometimes and change from green to purple to deep red-brown. He looks a bit like the one in this video.
I'm going to leave some seed out for him so that he'll keep coming back. He always lets me know when he's arrived with a really loud bark. I particularly like the feather ruffle he does afterwards!
