Maximum temperature today 15C, minimum 6C. Dry with a bit of damp in the air; rain was forecast but it did not happen. 21km/h North-westerly winds with gusts up to 45 km/h.
Yes, more lambs, but it is the first thing I see as I leave home in our neighbour's field.
Baaaaaaa, wait for me Mum....
Ah, there she is.
Looking back across the fields, there is our hamlet on the horizon.
I love these country walks.
A sleepy calf next to the road...
Mum is looking on.
All the green at this time of the year is either ivy or mistletoe, this tree has both.
Walking through another forest area.
Calendula (Calendula officinalis) growing next to a small house I passed.
Lawn daisies (Bellis perennis) are everywhere, note the 2 small beetles.
The very first cowslips (Primula veris) of 2019.
A dandelion clock.
Fields ready for planting.
A farmer's dog.
Reflections in the dam with a farm in the background.
I saw several Red Admiral butterflies (Vanessa atalanta) but this was the only one that stopped for me. There were also a lot of Brimstone Butterflies (Gonepteryx rhamni) around but they were all in a hurry!
Back in our hamlet a neighbour's Pigeonnier...
and daffodils next door.
I have updated my bird blog HERE.
