I've had some great pictures of The Lodge bluebells from Ray Piercy and Jan Murphy this week, so better post them while they are still blooming! Jan also sent the grey heron by the pond at the gardens, looking like it's taking a shower with the fountain in front!
The firecrest hasn't been seen (that we know of) since Wednesday, and I've not bumped into anyone who's seen the crossbills as yet today, but they were seen yesterday so could still well be around. The hobbies have been showing on the new heath today, so the birders have been happy all the same! It's looking like a really nice weekend, so if you aren't going to the seaside!-then come along for a great spring walk in the sunshine at The Lodge or Rye Meads, and don't forget, The Lodge has a binocular and telescope demonstration on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, from 11am - 3pm each day.
