White Brown

I came across two Brown Hares today while wandering through the Longdyke Dene, one was very pale, I've not seen this before in Brown Hares, quite striking in the field, I managed a few shots before they dashed off.

A single Buzzard floated down the Dene, two Jays, Long Tailed Tits and a Great Spotted Woodpecker completed a cold and windy walk, none of the singing Chiff Chaffs I'd seen in previous days before the cold north wind started

Chiff Chaff Chiff Chaff

Its wonderful when the first Chiff Chaffs appear. Walking hedgerows and through the Longdyke Dene, the air is full of their lovely song. I popped out this afternoon to try a few snaps..

Mellow Yellow

I had listened to Chris Packham's broadcast about his garden Primroses on Facebook, it was really good. Inspired and knowing Primroses can be found in the woodlands local to me here I decided to take a walk out to see if I could find any at all.
Success, plenty of Primroses to attempt a photograph, also Lesser Celandine and a blaze of Gorse flowers to complete the yellow theme. I fluked my first butterfly too in a clear fell area, Small Tortoiseshell.
