To be fair, I’ve got my excuses….!
Can’t blame me for the tree though…!
We live up in The Chiltern Hills and we are always a bit behind ( in many things !…) oop here.
When I used to go into London on work duties, the Magnolia’s in town were always months ahead of ours.

Struggled first cut of mine couple of days ago, still too wet really, clogged the mower every bag full.
Bit of an insult to “lawns” really, nothing level and 50% moss. 
On the plus side it’ll be full of wild primrose and bluebells soon.

Stopped raining for a while yesterday so off walking a bit of coast path. A stretch runs beside Mullion golf club, loads of folk batting, such a strange pass time

Not as strange as being a batter, paying your subs but not being able to play because the pitch is closed

Sorry, may I ask where you live (country)? Just as we have had a red-throated diver couple (several summers) on our small lake/bigger forest pond (which is totally on my parent’s lands). That bird is fully protected here. So rare.
In Finland’s bigger lakes you can opposite see this one (again fully protected):

Plus in my understanding, there are a few other similar species (in North America) … all together about 5 (and all living in Arctic areas). Those are some of the oldest bird species still alive. The living relics from ancient times.
