Nature Walk - What Have You Seen Today?

Wren with a mouthful of tiny twigs hopping around in the front garden this morning. I often see them from my kitchen window as my little rockery sems to be a favourite foraging space.

They are supposed to be the most common bird in the UK and yet I very rarely see one!

Primroses in my garden and daffodils on my walk.

Really excited to see a Red Kite flying past our house this morning!

We live in South Gloucestershire and have never seen one here before

Awww, wonderful. Lucky you! We're in mid Wales and regularly get them flying over the house. Spectacular creatures.

Yes we holiday in Wales especially to see them. Hopefully they are starting to spread further afield now.

The council planted a swathe of crocus' right across from my house a few years ago- so now they look really pretty from my front window.
On my walk this morning I also saw a blackthorn in full bloom. I didn't know its name so thanks for the pic, and my finding out what it is. My brother has one in his front garden, so now I can tell him what it is, thanks!

Lots of red kite flying over our conservatory this afternoon.

In the woods little Goldcrest Chaffinch and squirrels and wood pigeons.

Driving through Epping Forest yesterday we saw a herd of about 20 small deer. We see them in ones and twos, that is the most we have ever seen. They are very cute.

Urban rather than country, but dramatic skies and the start of a rainbow yesterday.

Crocuses flowering and daffodils nearly flowering

Some crocuses on a roadside on my walk into town.

It was the other day - ancient blackthorn tree in our local park that evidently fell down many years ago, but more than one of its branches put down roots.

Here it is - just one original tree - my harbinger of spring.

Two visitors on the canal behind our house.
