Lockdown Walk

An extended Lockdown Walk produced a variety of images, but nothing out of the ordinary on this occasion.

A Blackbird silhouette.

A sign of Spring coming?

Not really, as you can find Lesser Celandines most of the Winter.

It is nice to see some colour though.

Mute Swan incoming.

One of a pair that are regularly seen in the same waterlogged meadow.

Mr Robin has always got something to say.

Extending the walk I was able to observe what was occupying the large strip of flooded common land on the edge of the town.

There is a river there in the first image running from left to right.

Also observed on the flood water.

Lapwings, Common and Herring Gulls, Teal Duck, Gadwall Duck and Mallards.

Along the edge of the common land were several Long-tailed Tits chasing each other around the tree branches. (Spring must be coming soon)

A roadside Daffodil is always a pleasure to find.

A drake and duck mallard occupying a small pond.

A Squirrel trying to make like he is part of the tree. 

Female Blackbird

I just liked the colours in this view across open land.
