Male blackbird sitting watchfully by the top of a fence, perhps waiting for an opening as a couple of others were prospecting a small lawn for food.

Another misty morning, early, West Park. The big erratic, seen from two different angles, and the rather smaller one near to the badger sett.

Purple crocus flowers, with a vivid colour contrast between the petals and the bright yellow / orange stamens.

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.
