| Sunlight on the treesby North Lodge where noisy rooks were making seasonal adjustments to their nests and squabbling mildly. Elsewhere in the wood we heard strident pheasants, gently cooing pigeons and the chirping of the many small, highly active small birds, tits and finches, in the trees, too rapid for precise identification. |
 |
| The low sun caught the tree trunks and highlighted the red brick chimney of the old gas works by the pond. |
 |
| Pale spears of wild garlic poking through the leaf litter, colourless but already smelling faintly of garlic |
 |
| Newly emerging lesser celandine leaves |
 |
| Alders on the flooded north edge of Flagpole Plantation. |
 |
| Possibly a male scaup (?)swimming on the flooded field |
 |
| The field between the wood and Philorth Halt was completely under water, there was a flottila of gulls and the single duck, pictured above, is it a scaup? |
