Slimbridge in Spring.

 As it has been such a wonderful spell of unseasonable weather I thought I’d treat myself to a repeat visit to Slimbridge.Last time it was so very cold but today the sun shone and I could walk about without a coat and sit and sketch.As you can see the willows are showing green and reflecting in the not frozen water.

Flowers are beginning to bloom,I’m not sure what these are but they look like giant snowdrops.

  

Birds are rearing young.I even managed to see the otter coming out to luxuriate in the sun and dip down to have a drink.

The sky really was this blue.I expect we’ll have a shock when the temperature dips back to normal.though it’s been good while it lasts.
