Two wisterias, one with the standard purple flowers, the other white, already at the height of their flowering right at the start of May.

#lockdown – greylag goslings return
There had been no sign of the West Park greylag geese for a week and a half. I was beginning to worry that a predator had got them, or perhaps they had retreated to one of the islands. In their first few days, the parent birds had become increasingly hostile to any humans anywhere nearby.
Then a visit on a different time of day – the rain only gave up late afternoon.
Goslings still all present, and looking healthy. When first noticed, they were running at top speed towards the bread being scattered by someone.

Flowers in a garden I passed on my daily walk: an iris still in the bud, and on another stem already fully open.

#lockdown – canal, mosty morning
Just noticed I’d missed uploading these pictures. The canal near Newbridge a couple of weeks ago. Early morning, with a slight mist rising from the water.
Chicken of the woods fungus growing on a fallen willow tree. This one is unlikely to be picked by would-be gourmets: the tree is on one of the islands on West Park lake.

#lockdown – pigeons, West Park
Tow of the resident West Park pigeons. One resing in the water at the edge of the lake, the other combing short grass for food.
