Trees in bud, grey wagtails and comma butterfly

WOW! What a glorious weekend. The sun is high in the cloudless blue sky. You could be forgiven for thinking it was summer. Yesterday I saw the first butterfly of the year - a comma butterfly basking and supping on the newly opened primula.

The squirrels are running up and down the bank wrestling in all the crisp brown leaves. A family of grey wagtails, lovely small yellow breasted birds have just arrived in the garden. They dash around really quickly and walk up and down the side of the river so it took a while to photograph it.


The trees look beautiful in full bud so here's a selection of photos taken this weekend in my garden.
