The snow has all gone, and the sun was out today as we had a walk around the local park. The Canada geese seemed to be enjoying the sunshine.

The heron was hiding in the reeds looking for its dinner. I recently found out a funny fact about the heron. Apparently, they are sometimes called 'shitepokes' because of their ability to crap when taking off into the air after being disturbed. Source I presume it's so they can get away quickly.

There was a wren on the floor. They are cute little birds that look for food in leaves on the ground.

As we slowly creep into spring, the purple crocuses add a nice splash of colour.

I'm no fungi expert, but my phone is telling me this is wood or jelly ear fungi. Whatever it is, weirdly, they do appear very ear-like.

Everyone loves the little robin redbreast. They are very photogenic. It's always best to take a bit of bird food with you, so hopefully, you will be able to get a few shots of the robin in return.

We've had snow, rain, frost, winds and a bit of sun. We will see what's next on the agenda, weather wise.
