Another pair of swans with one of their (several) cygnets. These were on the fishing pool at Pool Hall.

Bluebells growing under the narrow band of trees at the edge of the long drive at Chillington Hall.

Closer view of two of the cygnets on Perton Pool which featured yesterday, chasing the bread that someone was throwing to them.

“Tails” of sycamore flowers hanging from a twig. Like much this year, they are later than normal.

Swan, probably the pen, with young cygnets on the large pool at Perton. The other parent had just chased away two Canada geese, which must have got too close to the chicks.

Like most other plants, the bad weather has delayed hawthorn flowering this year. Now spring has finally arrived, everything is out in a rush.
