March madness

March is often a month of storms up here in north east Scotland. We had our worst snows in this month 2 years ago, but this month has been mostly wet and very windy.
Signs of spring are very evident despite the inclement weather. The dawn chorus is getting loader and earlier. This morning when I got up, it seemed like every bird was making its voice heard. Even the chickens were getting in on the act complaining that it'd been light for a while and I hadn't let them out.
As I fed the horses I noticed five or six deer in the clearing opposite. They were chasing each other around and generally enjoying themselves. And the hare was out on the road testing its acceleration against my car. It won, my car doesn't do acceleration up hill.
