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.

Robins like this one may look fat, but he's fluffing out his feathers for added insulation.

You may not be a fan of the Grey Squirrel and he may not be an indigenous species in the UK, but he doesn't deserve to freeze or starve.

They're nice to see and the Robin is never backwards in coming forward.
