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.

A quiet day at Watermead park - 4 June 2011

There wasn't a lot of wildlife in evidence at Watermead today,  a couple of nests were a bit confusing though.

Like this one they were both coots nest last week, but they're now occupied by mallards with well grown fledgelings.

No such problems with swans though, this sleepy group took their rest on the water.

There where quite a few of these butterflies at one point, I thought they were moths at first, but a look at my books showed they were butterflies.
