That's a good reason to be cheerful BenCotto. I is a happy bunny this morning. Been outside tidying up and found the grey oyster fungi growing on a log that a friend gave me last year. I can uncross my fingers now.
Imagine that today the sunset is at 4.00pm and sunrise is at 8.00am. Then next week sunset is 4.05pm but sunrise is 8.10am. The day length is shorter but sunset is later. Of course these are simplified figures to illustrate the point.
Lovely @Liriodendron. I get them here, but only see them very occasionally, as they're a bit like wrens in that they tootle around in more hidden areas. When folk complain that conifers offer nothing to wildlife, just say 'goldcrests'. One of their favourite haunts. I know I've said it before, but when my younger daughter was still at primary school, and the older one was at secondary, we'd have a twenty minute gap between the start times, so we used to park for five or ten minutes in a side road where a house has a conifer hedge. We often saw a couple of them popping in and out of it.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
