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.

More yellow flowers of spring, still not quite open. These daffodils were in Coppice Wood, near to yesterday’s primroses.

Bluetit eating from a fat ball. The bird’s feathers were distinctly in need of a preen, but it looked lively and healthy otherwise.

More of the yellow flowers of early spring struggling to open. These primroses at the edge of Coppice Woold.
