A Canada goose vigorously disturbs the water of the lake at West Park as it bathes, perhaps following the example of the swam featured in the previous post – those pictures had been taken seconds earlier.

Snowdrops, Bantock Park, sunrise
One of the clumps of snowdrops in Banotck Park, with Bantock House in the background. The sun was just rising over the roofline of Bradmore Road, lighting the area.
Kingsmead Marsh, Stafford
Kingsmead Marsh is one of two nature reserves lying directly outside Stafford’s ring road (the other one is Doxey Marshes).
Pearl Brook forms one edge of Kingsmead Marsh, which is much more densely vegetated than Doxey.
