Wood blewit mushrooms had been growing throughout the hardest times of this winter. Now as the weather showed signs of warming, they were beginning to shrivel, and had been covered in mould.

Jaunty male house sparrow, perched on a twig in a holly bush.

In the distance, Bantock House peeping through trees, with snowdrops in the foreground.

West Park boating lake, still part frozen, but the ice beginning to melt. A dark morning, with a heavy mist. Some Canada geese and a lone coot on the ice, looking rather disconsolate.

The winter aconites of Coppice Wood, the flowers further open on every visit.

Male blackbird with a territory right by one of the entrances to West Park. Here searching the short grass for something to eat, while also keeping a careful eye on me.
