I had a day off on Wednesday, and as it was a beautiful sunny morning, I walked down along the road to post a couple of cards, and back up along the canal.
The first treat was to see a mother duck and what looked like at least a dozen little furballs paddling along madly behind her. I want to walk back down to the lock tomorrow and see if I can find them again. We're lucky at the moment to have such a pleasant place to walk, almost on our doorstep. The "2 km radius from your home" that we are currently allowed for exercise will take us nicely up or down the canal to suitable points for walking back along the road if we prefer.
And a magpie, taking a quick bath. He then flew up to a branch to sun himself. It was so warm that I could even smell that coconut aroma from the gorse growing along the bank.

A bird of another feather, the chimney cowl on one of the houseboats moored alongside the train station.

And the rest of the photos are just wildflowers and trees. I spotted some early violets, too.
So glad you can get out and walk. There's so much to see at this time of year. They're closing our parks because people can't follow the rules of not gathering together. We are so happy to have a variety of wildlife in our yard. Stay well.
