On My Daily Walk #204 - Willow Reflections
This photo perfectly encapsulates an idyllic half hour I spent in my favourite spot of woodland today. The weather was wonderful - and I don't think I've ever seen such a profusion of birds and butterflies. I saw up to 15 or 20 butterflies dancing through the air at any one time (mostly Speckled Woods, although a few Small Tortoiseshells and Red Admirals too) - and watched great tits, blue tits, coal tits, long-tailed tits, warblers and a great-spotted woodpecker flitting around my favourite old tree. I took plenty of photos (some of which I'll upload later) - but this shot of a mallard cocking one eye up at the clear blue sky, captured the tranquility of the day for me.
