A walk-in a meadow and woods was very up lifting the rain that was promised never came. The rustling of the leaves as the wind moved through them was gentle . Saw peacock butterflies, red admiral butterflies and tortoiseshell butterflies. The different trees and the ivy what covered them was a sight to behold. The trickling of a stream and a gentle waterfall added to the music of nature , birds in the distance adding their song. A glorious day .
this is a blog about nature in a small town and the surrounding countryside.

Family
The Canadian geese family took a walk around the pond. Parents and five youngsters. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Then they decided to have a run and a flap off wings. Then walked around the pond again.

No Mention Of Weather
The resident robin has appeared after being away for a while, you could and still can hear him sing but not seen him. Haven’t a clue why he hasn’t been around. He has been missed.
The black cat decided to try and catch the squirrel but the squirrel turned round and went for the cat and in doing so startled the cat that the cat fell of the fence. It slunked home and the squirrel went on it’s way.

Snails and Moles
Snails slow? I don’t think so . You should of seen the snail going up the garden path , it was going at top speed. Maybe to get out if the rain. A friend has got molehills in their garden and they are pleased first time they had them.

Hop Skip Jump
Was joined by my friend the raven, hop skip and jump the raven not me! Up the path we both went up, he left me at my gate and cawing away he was . Few heavy rain showers but not as bad as it could be.

Delicately
A very late sunset turned the sky into a pink and soft lavender heaven , then the grey rain clouds came bowling in. Rained all night. A single pigeon on the chimney pot cooing away delicately to itself.

Pretty
A pleasant sunny morning for a change. The magpie couple were quite near me so I happened to see their lovely plumage. And with the sun shining on them the colours really stood out. The resident robin is heard but not seen . And everything nearly everything is overgrown with all 5he rain we had. But it looks nice seeing the wildflowers blooming even dare I say it the weeds some of them are actually pretty.
