Spring really is hurtling our way as a glance around the countryside will show – hazel catkins, insects on the wing and lapwings displaying are all sure signs. Lapwings are back on their local breeding grounds and are really in full swing now as they display over the fields in the area. They can easily be seen as I drive into my village, Ryhill, particularly around Chevet, Wintersett and on the Nostell side of the village.
