Ramson (wild garlic) flowers. Some just developing as buds, some opening, and one fully open. All were on plants in the same patch, seen at the same time.

The first ducklings I spotted this year: three with their mother swimming on the canal near the Wildside Centre. It looked like they had been hatched for less than a day.

Male pussy willow catkins, covered in yellow pollen.

These were on one of the recent mornings after heavy overnight rain, which had left the catkins looking very bedraggled.

Robin in one of the bushes on the edge of the Barley Field.

It repeatedly flew down to the path, found a morsel to eat, and returned to its station on the twig.

Horse chestnut leaves, again on the topmost twig of the tree, just as they were starting to open.

Seen at the same time as the opening leaves of the nearby oak featured in the previous post.

Leaf buds on the topmost twig of an oak, just as they were beginning to open recently.
