18th May '09 Wollaton Park

Cold, wet, windy.

Wollaton Park

A lovely sight.

My visit here today was to get some decent pictures of the bluebells before they are gone. Its just as well because I didn't see any birds! My only sighting of any note was a Reed Warbler in the rushes beside the lake. That in itself is a first for me on this park.

Beautiful.

Early on there was no sunshine and this did not help. It then decided to rain for a change. For at least an hour, during which time I remained under a tree and spotted the only other birds of any note, Longtailed Tits. Finally the sun appeared and I was in business. The pictures speak for themselves.
The smell was intoxicating.

Reed Warbler, Longtailed Tit, Swift, Swallow, House Martin, Sand Martin.
