It's a grey day at Radipole but spring is on its way. I found this Cow Parsley this morning in bloom, normally their flowering time is May but the leaves are up in December. I also saw the early signs of Lords and Ladies, Comfrey, Willow and Blackthorn coming into flower as well as the reserve's Bay Trees confirming that spring is on the move. Birds today include Pochard, Gadwall and Shoveler while the Spoonbills are still at Lodmoor
Easter is nearly upon us! The staff at the Discovery Centre have organised some Easter Fun over the holidays. As you can see I found the Centre's Easter Egg stash ready for the Easter Egg Trail.
