… the Little Grebes who live near the boathouse have produced five chicks …… but sadly it appears the resident Swan couple have left the nest without any sign of Cygnets following them!
… and with a considerable improvement in the weather and growth of grass the lambs are outin the pastures around the Loch …… and this one posed for a photograph!Unfortunately the weather hasnt been so kind to this quite early Peacock butterflywhich although somewhat ‘battered’ still manages to fly!
After a spell of very cold and poor weather the Primroses and Primula are in full bloom …… as are the Daffodils …… whilst the Flowering Currant appears happy in amongst the Holly!
… with the snow and ice now cleared sadly this young Heron, one of last years young judging by the size of the remains, appears not to have found the sustenance to survive the extreme conditions, fortunately two new Herons are already frequenting the Loch..
