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.

Close to the Meadow Lane car parks we saw these two enjoying the sunshine, it just looked so idyllic I decided to record it.

The mother of these Mallard chicks had her work cut out, she has eleven. It would be nice to think she'll raise all of them, but it is probably a vain hope.

Robins seem to be everywhere this year, they'll soon be more common than sparrows. This one serenaded us by the crossroads near the car parks.

For some reason lots of Canada Geese took to the air and flew towards King Lear's Lake as we were walking past the Worcester Crescent Lake. A few minutes later, they returned and were close enough for this picture.
