Viburnum in full winter flower.
Fragrant Viburnum absolutely bossing it in the corner of my #FenEdge garden this mild winter morning. The scent is almost overpowering!
Crops growing in the field, trees on the horizon, a setting sun & orange glow to the sky.

I particularly love The Fens for the big skies & clouds.
These teasels & hawthorn berries provided an interesting contrast with this afternoon’s sky.

seen on this afternoon’s walk.
The hedges, bushes, trees, wheat fields & reeds (😉) resound to their “Tree, Tree, Top of the Tree” call at the moment.

Hogweed frames the setting sun, with a ripening field & dark cloud.
The setting sun is between two banks of clouds. In the foreground are three trees.
The sun sets over the Fens, with dark rain clouds. Viewed across a field.

Fen Violet Viola stagnina, with whitish flowers flushed with bluish-purple, overlain with delicate dark blue veins. A very rare plant of base-rich lowland fens and wet meadows in the UK.
Having lived on its doorstep (proverbially) for over half my life, I finally caught up with my local Fen Violet this week and it was just as beautiful as I'd anticipated...delicate, ethereal, just perfect...

So pleased to have Coal Tits nesting in our birdbox.
Particularly since @rspb.bsky.social say Coal Tits are not common around The Wash, Marshland & The Fens.

View across farmland with two trees, towards the Fens & the setting sun.
A path with the shadows of a number of chimneys and towers falling across it. There is a moat on the right hand side.
