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.

More wet days - 17 June 2011


With the rain coming down, a quick dash round Watermead was all we managed and even then there wasn't much wildlife showing.

A female mallard brought her two offspring over towards us, obviously trying to teach them how to beg for food.

This Green teasel looked different, I usually don't see them until they've gone brown.

Here's hoping things will improve soon and the wildlife will come out again.
