Easter sunshine

The weather on Saturday was warm enough to encourage us to the beach and Maria and I built some lovely sandcastles despite a cooling breeze which made paddling painful. The improved weather has seen lots of opportunities to walk the dogs in some lovely settings and the pictures show some of the sand martins at Blashford lakes in the newly constructed nest sties which are metre long tunnels filled with sand. In addition there is a little ringed plover nesting just feet away from one of the hides.

The final photo shows a roe deer in the bluebell woods just sat as we past it and the dogs remained oblivious to it despite it being only about 10 yards away.

Beach walk

 We all seem to be ill. Maria's dance showcase on Saturday evening was great but since then it has been downhill. Alison has been in bed...
