I have noticed many of the signs over the last week. Woodies collecting 
straw oblivious to passing traffic my 7 tonner is bright yellow didn't stop 
two flying straight at it straw in beak, Partridge leking which I admit is a 
new one to me I've seen plenty of red grouse at the lek but since we only 
have a few on the shoot a new experience. The clincher was today back from 
training the dogs and a large frog was  lurking at the bottom of the drinker 
which is late  compared to previous years the green fellows usually drop in 
during late january.
