Wonderful weather today, clear blue sky and temperatures pushing into double figures. Time for a woodland based walk. Consequently, up Chapel Lane and along wooded footpaths to Westland Green and return via the golf course. Plenty of buzzards about, with 3 seen soaring over Valley Fields.

A nuthatch called from the top of a dead tree (below) whilst the wispy sound of a treecreeper could be heard, but not found. A welcome patch of snowdrops brightened the verge and male great spotted woodpecker drummed its territorial call. Over to the north of Chapel Lane 2 little owls could be seen roosting in the oaks; their usual haunt and there appeared to be signs that a barn owl had roosted in the tree where it nested last year.

super snowdrops.
Over the golf course a couple of green woodpeckers were digging about and a few lesser black backed gulls flew south, heading to their Amwell nature reserve roost for the night. The photos being a testimony to the good light and clear sky.
