Parkland Walk

Scenes from my latest parkland walk. 

Blue skies, mild temperature and green shoots, is spring around the corner?

In just a few days temperatures had risen from about 6 up to 17 celsius.

Getting ever closer to that elusive Kingfisher. 

This shot was taken from dense woodland across a river.......

........ a little further down stream from this below.

Not so difficult to photograph though, a Mute Swan.

Another sign maybe that spring is getting closer.

Reeds - Blowing in the wind.

A variety of cloud patterns in the sky.

Although its not summer, Narrowboat owners still travel along the rivers. 

In fact some owners live on their boats permanently.

The alder trees, as well as seeds, are now showing catkins.

Strong winds were making waves on the lakes.
