Parkland Walk

A Parkland Walk was enjoyed in the sunshine this week for a change.

Bluebell Wood still looks somewhat bare, although on close examination there are green shoots emerging.

A casualty of the recent high winds. 

A great shame it had to be an Oak though.

What do you expect to find in Bluebell Wood ?

Well I didn't quite expect to find Bluebells just yet, but I found three growing close to each other amongst the masses of green bluebell plant leaves. 

The Willow looks nearly ready to harvest again.

There are still plenty of Snowdrops around.......

.....even a few Primroses.

Miniture Daffs that had been planted in the parkland grass are showing now.

The Blackthorn looks lovely now in sunlight with blue sky as a background.

Palm

Bramling observed recently, but I had not posted the image before.

Male Reed Bunting in the sunlight.

Golfinch having eaten the seeds from the Teasel decide to perch on it.

Nene Valley Heritage Railway

(One for you David)

Looks like an old military train as it has WD and a broad arrow on the side.

Well it looks like a train anyway.{:))

The elusive Goldcrest image, still not how I would like to get one though.

Greylag returning from a "Sortie' on local farmland.

A Cormorant overhead.

The Drake Mallards are really beginning to look at their best now.

NB: For some as yet unknown reason, recently my images after I have posted them don't look very clear. They are fine before hand, but something is not working right. Back to the drawing board.
