Everything is about a month late this year.
Leaves have now burst on the trees, though not all of them, and many early spring flowers are in bloom. Soon it will be the longest day, high summer! May be on paper, summer's here, but not on the ground.
We walked along the lakes at Ruskin Mill, here in Nailsworth, up across the fields to the Bath Road and then back down to the mill once more to finish off.

Female Coot.
Crab Apple blossom.

A field of Buttercups beside the A46.
Such a big display.
Gorgeous Buttercup glowing in the late afternoon sun.
Horsley village.
Great Spotted Woodpecker - female - nape of her neck is black, not red.
These aren't very good photos,
but they are the best I could get,
without wading out into Ruskin Mill Lake!
Beside the lake, a Kingfisher sat quietly, soaking up the warmth of the sun.
As ever, a Heron was hanging around. Well they do have a trout farm here too.
