A Spring Gallery

Today spring really did come to town (well, to country). These shots are scattered through the day…
Early morning, dunnock

Early morning, long-tailed tit

Lunchtime, wren

And a baby rabbit, lurking in the undergrowth

There was a peacock butterfly

And a small tortoiseshell

A goldfinch

And blue tits, in constant motion

There was even a squirrel

And on my way home, a pheasant in a field

    Beautiful set of photos Words :up:
    I work so much lately, overtime almost every day, and one morning I have discovered to my surprise that trees are green again 😆 I am sorry I missed while it was happening, all of it.

    great selection of photos. Love the pheasant and goldfinch, and jealous of the small tortoiseshell – a great photo of a species I very rarely see

    Darko, thanks! It's crept up on us here as well, but I'm glad it's arrived.

    Adele, I don't mind brown too much. It's the grey skies that always bring me down.

    Neil, thanks. It's odd… I keep spotting the tortoiseshells hanging around with the peacock butterflies. I've seen 'pairs' several times recently.
