Nature seems to be taking full advantage of the relative quietness in the countryside generally, roadside verges looking as they should, resplendent in a covering of wildflowers.
Of course the weather has played a part with settled conditions and no rain making for an easier start for many breeding birds and animals, what we don't need now is a spell of cold wet weather.
Apple blossom is out in a few locations in the woodlands, mostly the result of discarded apple cores, nevertheless this blossom provides another nectar source for pollinators.
I stumbled across a rather aggressive Hornet, I usually find Hornets to be quite docile so I can only assume that it was distressed, I moved it off the roadway and put it in a safe spot.
Checking one of our picnic areas today I was disappointed to find the mess as shown in the photograph, if you're wondering there were 29 mixed beer and cider cans, 1 wine bottle and 4 water bottles, and a disposable BBQ, I thought the country was in lockdown?
Todays high tide brought in a few Helium filled balloons! how long have they been floating in the ocean?
