It seems like spring has arrived early this year. We took a trip one Sunday to Strumpshaw – I’ve blogged about this place many times before. I guess because we so often visit as it’s only a short drive from Norwich.
This time we walked around the woodland trail and took in some of the river bank but we barely saw any birds at all. We heard them in the trees but they were too high up. It was only back near the picnic benches at reception that I was able to really get my camera out and take a few snaps of the usual garden birds. Although we didn’t see much it was still a nice walk in the fresh air and sunshine.
Though I’ve just remembered I did see a couple of redpolls fly over while my hands were full and I couldn’t take a photo!

I imagine that with a baby your hands are often too full to take pictures! Even so they are lovely as always. And going back to the same place lets you see changes – nature never stays the same.
Absolutely! He’s a good pram napper so I manage to just about get the camera out.
What fascinates me this spring is how many flowers that are usually flowering in succession are all out at the same time. We had knee-deep snow here the same time last year. Climate change is real. Lovely pictures as usual.
Aw thank you! Yes it’s a bit worrying, especially as when the flowers get the timing wrong it means the insects don’t get their nectar when they need it.
Lovely, lovely photos with the sun shining. Warms my soul – here in the states where it is still very much winter. It is so nice to see your color.
The sun didn’t last! We’re back to wind and rain now.
Lovely. :)
