A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Panic Over!

The internet problems have been solved, I've ditched Vodafone and gone with three. Their hotspot dongle, allows Maja to do her emails while I'm doing this blog.

A few days ago we went for a walk round Blackbrook Reservoir although there is some litter the water is very pretty, there were a lot of fry near to the bridge and a variety of the common water birds. In the woods above the lake the floor was carpeted with bluebells. As we returned to the lakes there was a bird of prey hovering but it was too far away to identify. The Grebes pictured below caught my eye and I was convinced that they were going to do their dance. But following this head bobbing display, they separated and swam to opposite sides of the lake.








All were taken with
