22nd April 2024: Dunnock, Green Woodpecker, views, broad-leaved clover, Blackbird, bluebells, daisies and dandelions and Great Crested Grebes including a chick and the fish in the adult's mouth at Lakeside Country Park and home today.

Just a quick note to say that I'll be taking a bit of a break from daily posts as I'm off work from Friday with us heading off on an exciting wild trip away next week and with preparation for that and some other great things I've got a busy three evenings to come between now and Friday. I may do a bit a brief round up post of lunch time etc. photos and sightings from the next three days if I get time on Thursday and possibly once or twice in the time off, but if not I shall certainly do a few posts about the next couple of weeks as I get back into daily posting afterwards. Have a good couple of weeks all.
