Wellingtonia (red wood). Sequoladendron giganteum
The #LakeMeadows giant. A redwood planted sometime after 1852, and estimated to be 170 years old. History and nature makes for a great #TodaysWalk

Fun fact: I've listen to podcast during the walk where they said we should touch some grass.

The flowers are flowering
A blackthorn (presumably) in full bloom)
List of birds detected by the Merlin app
On the 1st day of metrological spring, on the way to #MillMeadows on #TodaysWalk, I spotted this (presumably) blackthorn. I had walked under it, then looking back I saw how lovely it is. At the bottom of the meadow, after the rain had stopped, the bird song was amazing. Merlin listed them.
Daffodils cover the hillside
#TodaysWalk, a visit to Warley Place to see the daffodils, and other spring bulbs.

A hummingbird landed and posed. The brilliant red/fuschia iridescent flash on the throat didn't come through.
I believe this is a male Anna's hummingbird

A clump of Snowdrops
Between the road and the path in #MillMeadows, behind the barbed wire fence, behind the brambles, the first sign of spring - the snowdrops - are in full bloom. #TodaysWalk
Old rotary mower dumped on a meadow footpath.
It's never good to see rubbish dumped in #MillMeadows. An old mower is a bit much though. #TodaysWalk
A dead hedge on the left of a path going up hill.
It's been a while since I was last able to get down this hill. So the dead hedge was new to me. The path it blocks goes to a large oak tree them fizzles out. I have no idea why it needs protecting. #TodaysWalk #MillMeadows
Catkins on a spindley tree
Don't be fooled, the catkins are starting to grow, but winter's not over yet. It's 5°C in #MillMeadows. There's plenty of time left for a cold snap. #TodaysWalk
Left: The moon above a bare tree. Right: New steps up a steep incline
On a cold, still, quiet and frosty afternoon, I went looking for the new steps in #MillMeadows. I found the moon above the trees first, and then later the new steps. They are great, as there is an overgrown diversion for those who can't walk up, or down easily. #TodaysWalk
A silver birch, growing around an LED street lamp, but dormant on the other side.
The Silver Birch keeps growing if there is sufficient light - regardless of the season. The new LED street lights are affecting nature in ways we didn't predict #TodaysWalk
Mountains in the distance across water with a log and path in the foreground. Two bare trees on either side
Last walk at Discovery Park for the year.
#TodaysWalk
A very straight tree trunk next to a street, on which is a sign in the shape of an avocado (cut, with a seed). The avocado has one googly eye attached to it.
Today’s trail: just a walk in town, but we passed the sign of the one-eyed avocado. #TodaysWalk
A reservoir with green shores and mud flats
Hanningfield Reservoir looking very low, so we still haven't caught up after the dry summer. #TodaysWalk #Hanningfield_Reservoir
Crazy clouds, hints of blue & sun trying to peek through

Turbulent skies today! #iphonepics #beachscapes #cloudscapes #todayswalk
A gray road with yellow and orange trees with grass on the right
#TodaysWalk
This is my favorite time of year when I can leave late afternoon and come home in the dark.
It's fun to listen to something spooky, but I'm listening to The Locked Tomb series which is fun.

The colors are so brilliant against the grey sky.
Large spreading oak, with yellowing leaves
Of the 4 or 5 large spreading oaks at the top of Mill Meadows, this one is furthest along to losing its leaves, by a long way. #TodaysWalk #MillMeadows

A Canada Goose enjoying a chunk of white bread. Someone had given them a loaf, which they had torn up fighting over it. Below: bushes displaying bright autum colours. #LakeMeadows #TodaysWalk
A paisley like golden design painted on a tree trunk.
My attention was drawn to this tree covered in these pretty designs, in #MillMeadows. The lady was appreciative of them, as were her small children. On reflection, though, I'm not sure a tree trunk is a proper canvas. #TodaysWalk
Rose hips on the edge of a wild rose bush.
Autumn is underway, and some of its fruitfullness has appeared in abundance. Crops from trees and bushes have been high, so it was no surprise to see these lovely rose hips on #TodaysWalk in #MillMeadows.
