A walk in the hills above Budapest today revealed all the signs that spring is on our doorstep. The browns of last year's leaves smell refreshingly of early spring, and the vibrant greens of the moss covered stones and trunks are striking. Galantus hides itself, scattered on the forest floor. Deer, mouflon, boar, fox and golden jackals are still easily spotted, and their pungent odour is in the air. The dainty yellow flower of the Cornus mas covers the understory while woodpeckers and blue tits flit nearby. Follow the red trail home.
