How about now? It’s a Green-veined White butterfly
Can you see the butterfly?
And this was the same bridge on Saturday
This was the road bridge during the floods in December 2015
And a close-up view
A Little Egret
A pair of Shelducks landing
See the ducks?
A Black-headed Gull, a bit far from the coast
It’s another Oystercatcher
There’s a bird through that frame of branches
…we weren’t the only ones out enjoying ourselves!
I didn’t realise what this was until I saw it on the monitor at home…
…but cropped in it’s an Oystercatcher
That’s the nearest I could get with the lens I had…
There it is
And again?
There it is
Can you spot the Pied Wagtail?
How about now?
There’s a Little Egret somewhere in the picture. Can you spot it?
Mute Swans landing on the River Lune
Some large bracket fungus
A cute trio
Cowslip
Early Purple Orchid
Lunch spot in the distance
This bit was steeper
A view of the wetland
They’re on the climb up from the hide
And a close-up
More Bluebells
Not the prettiest tree I’ve seen
The Primroses stood out
We saw lots of Bluebells
A quick look back
Nice to see fairly new lambs
A tree that is hanging on to life
The lovely view at the start and end of the walk
Ah, that’s what they’re looking at, Snowdrops
Wonder what they’re looking at?
We got a bit strung out. I think I walk too quickly
Heading for the muddy section
Nearly back at the coach stop
Walking past the burial mound towards the view of Leighton Hall
