Has spring arrived?

One of the usual, non bird, signs of spring was on show this morning. On the walk to the station, along the Taf Trail, there were 4 roadkill Toads - the first of the year -  all small, so presumably males. Chiffchaff numbers up to 5+ singing males from the single bird last week.

2 Crossbills flew over as I left the station at Abercynon this evening (just after 6pm), heading towards Pen y Foel (so they are still around, even if only in small numbers).
