Female blackbird, pausing before flying into the bush where the nest is. Pictures taken on two separate days, both with a beak full of vegetation likely selected for lining the nest.

Close-ups of the flowers on a male holly bush no berries come winter.

The elaborate structure – a candelabra – raising horse chestnut flowers over the twig they are on. The flowers were just starting to open in the last few days.

April 7th, frosty morning. Close up of alkanet flowers early that morning, speckled on frost crystals.

Sun disappearing into clouds as it set a couple of days ago, and as it rose again the following morning.

Great tit, a regular visitor to the garden all winter to sample seed in the bird feeders. After three weeks of lockdown, getting bolder like a lot of wildlife.
